The war in Ukraine has raised concerns about radiological and nuclear incidents, particularly regarding the vulnerability of children who may require pharmaceutical countermeasures. This study highlighted the lack of published research comparing pediatric indications and dosing for medical countermeasures in such incidents. To address this gap, experts collected and compared data from various references commonly used in healthcare. The study focused on pediatric indications and dosing of medical countermeasures for radiation exposure and internal contamination with radioactive materials. This research is significant as it is the first to compare pediatric indications and dosing for medical countermeasures among widely used references in radiological and nuclear incidents.
