About
This article addresses the lack of studies comparing pediatric indications and dosing for medical countermeasures in radiological and nuclear incidents. Children are especially vulnerable in such events and may require antidotes and cytokines. The study gathers and compares information from key references, including Advanced Hazmat Life Support (AHLS), DailyMed, and Radiation Emergency Medical Management (REMM), among others. It aims to fill a critical knowledge gap for healthcare professionals by providing a comprehensive resource on pediatric dosing for radiation exposure and contamination treatments, making it the first study of its kind.Tags
