We wish to thank the many people who have devoted their lives to research of chemical weapons treatment since the Tokyo subway sarin attack and who provided valuable advice in preparing tbis chapter. This chapter is dedicated to the memory of Dr Frederick Sided at the United States Army Medical Research Institute. 

Prehospital Setting. The most important care that the casualty receives is the care that is given within the first several minutes of a chemical attack. The conduct of the care given immediately after toxic chemical agent exposure, including the administration of antidotes, can literally mean the difference between life and death. This is not an overstatement (United States Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense, June 2001). Since this care will be rendered in a warm zone, personal protective equipment (PPE) must be employed by the responder.
