Description/Abstract:
TREATMENT OF RADIATION INJURY UNDER CONDITIONS OF CIVILIAN DISASTER OR MILITARY COMBAT REQUIRES A SPECIAL APPROACH. IT IS LIKELY TO BE NECESSARY TO EMPLOY TRIAGE, FOR EXAMPLE, AND TO MAKE PROMPT AND EARLY DECISIONS ABOUT THE PROGNOSIS AND THE USE OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES IN INDIVIDUAL CASES. THOMAS AND THE GROUP AT COOPERSTOWN AND OTHER INVESTIGATORS USING WHOLE BODY IRRADIATION FOR ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION HAVE SHOWN THAT EVEN SEVERELY ILL PATIENTS CAN TOLERATE SURPRISINGLY LARGE EXPOSURES IF APPROPRIATE HIGHLY SKILLED MEDICAL SUPERVISION AND ELABORATE SPECIAL FACILITIES ARE AVAILABLE. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT PROBLEMS ARISING FROM THESE DIFFERENCES ARE SUFFICIENTLY IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE TO DESERVE A THOROUGH REVIEW AND THAT A REVIEW OR STUDY CONFERENCE BE HELD SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PURPOSE.
