Dirty Bomb vs. Atomic Bomb
The atomic explosions that occurred in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were conventional nuclear weapons involving a fission reaction.
A dirty bomb is designed to spread radioactive material and contaminate a small area.

National Strategy
1. Stop, slow or otherwise limit the spread of a pandemic to the United States
2. Limit the domestic spread of a pandemic, and mitigate disease, suffering and death
3. Sustain infrastructure and mitigate impact to the economy and the functioning of society

The Gas Source Issue What is the best source of oxygen?
What about home health agencies and their patients?
Power is an issue!
![Page 77: Disaster Response And Respiratory Care. Objectives Understand the universal characteristics of disasters and the components of an all hazards approach](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d945503460f94a7bcee/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Necessary Ventilator Features for Each Scenario? Where will mechanical ventilation be
performed? Who will perform mechanical ventilation? Where will the gas supply come form? How long will it last? Does the ventilator’s capabilities match the
needs of the patient, skill of the operator?
![Page 78: Disaster Response And Respiratory Care. Objectives Understand the universal characteristics of disasters and the components of an all hazards approach](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d945503460f94a7bcee/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Necessary Ventilator Features for Each Scenario? Most mass casualty injuries result in ARDS All scenarios except nerve agent exposure
require constant volume delivery, control of airway pressures, monitoring, alarms, and control of PEEP and FIO2
When nerve agents result in paralysis – airway control and short term ventilation – “good air in – bad air out” may be all that is necessary
![Page 79: Disaster Response And Respiratory Care. Objectives Understand the universal characteristics of disasters and the components of an all hazards approach](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032523/56649d945503460f94a7bcee/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)

Critical Factors
In a MCI – many patients will need ventilation exceeding not only equipment but staff capabilities
Likely that critical care RRT will supervise non-critical care RRT and others in care of the ventilated patients
The ventilator must have adequate alarms and monitoring
The ventilator must have a simple interface and be easy to use
