Patients requiring additional medical attention, such as attention to the ABCs (airway, breathing, and circulation), antidotes, or other emergency treatment, may receive that care during or after the decontamination process depending on the severity of the agents effects and the ability of the decon team and available medical personnel to render that care. Nonambulatory patients pose much more of a decontamination and treatment burden than ambulatory patients, because most portable decontamination chambers require a person to stand. Decontamination and treatment planning must also address how to deal with the pediatric patient and the elderly. 

While most chemical facilities have an emergency plan, it may not be as detailed as required for the PSM rule and it may not have addressal of the response and recovery stages of an emergency.
