Treatment of Combined Injuries in a Radiation Incident

When a radiation incident victim suffers not only radiation exposure but other significant injuries, REAC/TS can help responders with the proper treatment protocol. Serious medical problems always have priority over radiological concerns, and immediate attention is directed to life-threatening problems. REAC/TS has designed protocols for medical management and radiation monitoring to highlight priorities in the medical cases of radiation victims.
