Chemical terrorism and nerve agents

Abstract

Sarin and VX were released on an unprotected civilian population in Japan on six occasions in 1994−5. Clinicians must be prepared, therefore, to treat casualties from nerve agent exposure. This requires an understanding of the mechanisms of nerve agent toxicity and the factors which influence their clinical impact. Clinicians need to be able to make a rapid and accurate diagnosis and use atropine, an oxime and diazepam optimally.
