24
Q

persistent (nonvolatile)
Nonpersistent (volatile)

Study These Flashcards
A
  • persistent (nonvolatile) - agents will remain on a surface before evaporating, for even hours to days
  • Nonpersistent (volatile) - agents will remain on a surface before evaporation (short periods)
25
Contact hazard Dissemination Communicability Incubation radiologic waste
Contact hazard - give off very little vapor or no vapor and enters the body through the skin - Dissemination - the means by which a terrorist will spread an agent - Communicability - how easily the disease is able to spread from one human to another - Incubation - the period of time between the person becoming exposed to the agent and the appearance of the first symptoms - radiologic waste - remaining radologic material after it has been used
26
Types of weapons of mass destruction - BNICE
- B - BIological - N - Nuclear - I - Incendiary - C - Chemical - E - Explosive
27
Incendiary devices
- Napalm, white phosphorus, magnesium - Burn very hot
28
Vesicants and signs
- **- blister agents** - Thich oily liquids that cause chemical burns to eyes, skin, and lungs through skin contact and vapor hazards - Sulfur Mustard, Lewisite and phosgene oxime - Chemical burns with large blisters - Dysnea, stridor, hemoptosis - gray discoloration - Permanent eye injurry
29
Sulfur mustard
- brownish-yellowish oily substance - Very persistent - Mutates and damages cells - Skin reddens, then blisters develop
30
Lewisite and phosgene oxime
- produce blister wounds similar to mustard - immediate intense pain and discomfort upon contact - Patient may have gray discoloraton

Organophosphates - SLUDGEMBS - S - Salivation - L - Lacrimation - U - Urination - D - Defacation - E - Emesis - M - Miosis - B - bradycardia - S - Seizure
35
management for nerve agent
- ABCs - Duodote injector - Atropine - Pralodoxime Chloride (2-PAM)
36
Ricin Botulinum
- Ricin - Weakness, fever, cough, shock - 36 hours after inhalation - Botulinum - Paralysis, weakness, blurred vision, dyspnea, respiratory failure - 12-36 hours following ingestion
37
Metabolic agents - cyanides and signs and management and what it looks like
- Colorless gasses with odor of almonds - Prevents cells from using oxygen - Hydrogen cyanide - Cyanogem chloride - Signs and symptoms - Low dose - Dizziness, headache, N/V - High Dose - ALOC, coma, seizure, cardiac arrest - Management - removal from environment, ABC - Cyanide kit - (ALS)
38
list of Viruses and signs
- Small pox - Viral hemorrhagic fevers - Ebola, marburg, yellow fever - Causes blood to seep out form tissues and vessels - Fever and headache - ALOC - Vomiting - Rash - Pattern of similar structure blisters - Uncontrolled internal and external bleeding (VHF) - Ecchymosis (late) - Bloody SPutum (late)
39
Bacterias and signs
- Anthrax - Signs and symptoms - Fever - Fatigue - Dyspnea - Cough - Headache - Plague (bubonic, pneumonic) - Signs and symptoms - Swollen, overgrown lymph nodes (bubonic) - Dyspnea and pulmonary edema (pneumonic) - Flu-like symptoms leading to sepsis - Cough - headache
40
list of Radiation
- Alpha Rays - Least penetrating - Clothes are effective barrier - Harmful if ingested - (1 Electron) - Beta rays - Aluminum is an effective barrier - (1 proton) - Neutron/Gamma rays/X-rays - Most penetrating - Lead and concrete common shield barriers - Lesser internal hazard
41
Primary exposure Fallout Iodine treatment
- Primary exposure - Eposure during or immediately following radiation event - Injuries limited to those in blast area - patients exposed to excessive radiation are considered victims of acute radiation toxicity - Effects of radiation exposure vary based on amount and route - Exposure does not mean contamination or radioactivity, but they must be cared for by Hazmat team first - properly dispose of PPE and bodily fluids - Fallout - Radioactive dust and particles - 48 hours and immediate vicinity to blast site - Systemic and delayed effects - Iodine treatment - Potassium iodide - Blocks uptake of radiation by thyroid gland - Prevents and reduces incidence of thyroid cancer
42
TCC

43
Tactical operations Situational awareness
- Priority is to mitigate threat - Contact team - Rescue team need or ability to have a high level of attentiveness to environment in a dynamic situation to make appropriate decisions
44
Types of chemical agents
* Vesicants (blister agents) * Pulmonary agents (choking agents) * Nerve agents * Metabolic agents (cyanides)
45
define dissemination
It means a terrorist will spread a poisoning agent like in water or air
