DuoDote has both the atropine and 2-PAM in the same syringe. DuoDote has only recently been made available to civilians. Some kits may also contain a diazepam or CANA injector (Figure S3.2). You must be able to identify the symptoms and signs that require use of the NAAK, select the appropriate dosage, and administer the atropine, pralidoxime, and diazepam as required.

Another important difference between the military and civilian sectors is that military officials may be able to predict with some degree of certainty when CWAs could be used, and thus equip the warfighter with pre-and post-exposure coxmtermeasures, such as PB and Duodote kits. However, since it is nearly impossible to predict when a civilian attack may occur, the NIH has been primarily focused on treating victims after exposure to CWAs. The exception to this approach is that there is some current research into prophylactic treatments that could be administered to first-responders who must enter a contaminated site or those who must treat victims that may still be contaminated, such as healthcare providers in the emergency department.
