Mass casualty decontamination procedures

Decontamination Mass-Casualty Triage Procedures R D Needs... 

Children with special health care needs will require additional considerations during mass casualty or disaster care. These considerations include decontamination procedures following radiation or chemical exposure for children using wheelchairs, ventilators, or oxygen and decontamination procedures for children with gastrostomy tubes, tracheostomy tubes, indwelling bladder catheters, and indwelling central venous catheters. Replacement supplies would be needed once the cutaneous decontamination is completed. Such supplies may not be readily available, so provisions must be made to secure these items or to have comparable clean or sterile supplies on hand.
