About RITN
The purpose of this document is to establish a uniform understanding among RITN center staff and non-medical RITN partners of the anticipated participation of RITN centers during a national disaster. The Concept of Operations describes the triage and flow of casualties from the initial catastrophic incident through the disaster aftermath to the treatment facility.
Triage
Cytokine Administration Triage Guidelines for Acute Radiation Syndrome (Adult and Pediatric)
The purpose of these guidelines are to give physicians, advanced practitioners and nurses (medical providers) simple myeloid cytokine triage guidelines to assist with the administration of these pharmaceuticals to adult and pediatric casualties in the immediate aftermath of a radiological disaster.
Formats available
4x6 (PDF)
8.5x11 (PDF)
24x36 (PDF)
AFRRI Pocket Guide - Emergency Radiation Medicine Response (PDF)
The Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) Pocket Guide can be consulted quickly to assess and control an emergency situation.
It defines radiation exposure and describes steps in diagnosis, treatment, decontamination, and reporting.
