  • Distress Respiratory Syndrome
  • Medical Emergencies

Interventions

  • Clinical interventions performed in acute settings (contaminated environment) — PROCEDURE
    Any clinical intervention performed on the patient inflicted by at least one of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive (CBRNE) weapons in acute settings (from the incident site up to his/her admission to the clean zone of a emergency room or its equivalent (ie.: walking clinic).
  • Protection (clinician and patient) — PROCEDURE
    As interrelated competence of the clinical intervention, any protection procedure and capability applied on the patient inflicted by at least one of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive (CBRNE) weapons in acute settings (from the incident site up to his/her admission to the clean zone of a emergency room or its equivalent (ie.: walking clinic). Concerning the clinician, the protection implied for his/her own safety and for the patient to whom she/he was in closed/contact with.
  • Decontamination (clinician and patient) — PROCEDURE
    As interrelated competence of the clinical intervention and protection, any decontamination procedure and capability applied on the patient inflicted by at least one of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive (CBRNE) weapons in acute settings (from the incident site up to his/her admission to the clean zone of a emergency room or its equivalent (ie.: walking clinic). Concerning the clinician, the protection implied for his/her own safety and for the patient to whom she/he was in closed/contact with. This crucial step is usually expected prior the patient's transfer into a clean zone like the emergency room or its equivalent.

Arms

  • Arm: adult inflicted by a CBRNE weapon
    Part of the Population is being studied includes any individual who was affected by CBRNE attacks and needed an intervention of the healthcare system.
  • Arm: Infant inflicted by a CBRNE weapon
    Part of the population is being studied includes any individual who was affected by CBRNE attacks and needed an intervention of the healthcare system.
  • Arm: Women inflicted by a CBRNE weapon
    Part of the Population is being studied includes any individual who was affected by CBRNE attacks and needed an intervention of the healthcare system.
  • Arm: Men inflicted by a CBRNE weapon
    Part of the Population is being studied includes any individual who was affected by CBRNE attacks and needed an intervention of the healthcare system.
  • Arm: Elderly inflicted by a CBRNE weapon
    Part of the Population is being studied includes any individual who was affected by CBRNE attacks and needed an intervention of the healthcare system.
  • Arm: Diagnosed with chronic disease(s) inflicted by a CBRNE weapon
    Part of the Population is being studied includes any individual who was affected by CBRNE attacks and needed an intervention of the healthcare system.
  • Arm: Clinician (adult) whom performs his/her clinical interventions
    Clinician (adult) whom performs his/her clinical interventions while integrating competences in protections and decontamination. Part of the Population is being studied includes any individual who was affected by CBRNE attacks and needed an intervention of the healthcare system. This is the case of when the clinician is required to ensure safety toward his/her patient while performing his/her interventions \& procedures.
  • Arm: Clinician (adult) injured by duties circumstances
    Part of the Population is being studied includes any individual who was affected by CBRNE attacks and needed an intervention of the healthcare system. This is the case of when the clinician becomes inflicted by a CBRNE weapon while intervening toward contaminated patient due to any failure in protection and decontamination.
