Proceedings of the NATO Chemical Human Response Subject Matter Expert Review Meeting, 21-22 April 2008, Munich, Germany

摘要

In April 2008, NATO subject matter experts met in Munich, Germany to discuss an approach to modeling human response and casualty estimation for incorporation into NATO Allied Medical Publication 8, NATO Planning Guide for the Estimation of CBRN Casualties. The purpose of this two-day conference was to review the proposed human response model for estimating casualties resulting from exposure to chemical agents- sarin (GB), VX, and chemical mustard (HD)- focusing in particular on severity definitions and the dose-based injury profiles for these three agents. During the conference, participants reached consensus on the chemical human response model and the injury profiles for use in the document. The presentations and consensus points reached during the NATO Chemical Human Response Subject Matter Expert Review Conference are summarized herein. This conference was sponsored by the US Army Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG).
