Bartlett, MD, Michael I. Greenberg, MD, MPH Softcover: 341 pages Size: 9" x 6" ISBN 156363550X 978-1563635502 Thomson PDR / Thomson Reuters January 2006 (click below for the very best available price for this resource) This is the first step-by-step guide for terrorism response.   This book authoritatively covers all forms of terrorist attack for all types of personnel. In addition to in-depth information on biological and chemical agents, it also provides basic response data on incendiary, explosive and nuclear attacks. Produced with leading terrorism experts, it offers three levels of information lets user choose the amount of detail needed: General preparedness - for hazard assessment & emergency actions Signs and symptoms - for fast identification of the agent used Biological and chemical agents - at a glance and in-depth. Experts from Johns Hopkins faculty and other leading academic centers collaborated on this guide to make it one of the most valuable tools you can have when faced with a terrorism crisis – from attack to recovery. The PDR Guide to Terrorism Response is designed to be used in an emergency when every second counts. For law enforcement, firefighting, and EMS personnel in the field, there are checklists for managing a biological, chemical, incendiary, explosive, or nuclear/radiological terrorism incident based on guidelines developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Justice Department, and the Department of Homeland Security. Rather than requiring you to page through text when the clock is ticking, the book offers three levels of information—basic, intermediate, and detailed—with each level cross-referenced to the next. Choose the depth of detail you need to find information fast. Fold-out index tab dividers let you turn to directly the section you want, where checklists and tables guide you through the steps necessary to protect yourself, save lives, and maintain order in chaos. Tables organized by body system and color photographs of actual patients swiftly help you identify which biological or chemical agent is likely to have been used in an attack—based on victim signs and symptoms—so you can take appropriate action. Each agent is then succinctly profiled in table form—key background facts, what to look for in victims, self-protection measures, and administering first aid in the field. For medical personnel, comprehensive checklists cover prehospital measures, patient decontamination, clinical presentation, diagnosis, labs and x-rays, treatment, and more—with drugs, dosages, and regimens presented in so you can read them at a glance. Drug tables are cross-referenced to more detailed but concise monographs on antibiotics and chemical weapon antidotes—including indications, contraindications, adverse effects, and more—written with PDR’s renowned clarity and authority. Prepared with the help of contributing editors who are world-class physicians: John G. Bartlett, MD, chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and founding director of the Center for Civilian Biodefense Strategies, is a leading authority on biological weapons. Michael I. Greenberg, MD, MPH, chief of the Division of Occupational and Environmental Emergency Medicine and program director for the Medical Toxicology Fellowship Training Program at Drexel University College of Medicine, is a premier authority on chemical weapons.   This guide is ideal for everyone from first responders to medical personnel, and, possibly a book that you want to purchase and have available now, should ever need it.
