Combat anesthesia hasn’t significantly changed since the U.S. Civil War – it can be agonizing, traumatizing, and burdensome for the injured as well as those caring for them. This is due to the fact that no anesthetic compound or cocktail can be used safely outside of a hospital facility. Every anesthetic currently in use has…
Reactive skin decontamination liquid (RSDL) is shown to decontaminate several chemical warfare agents. The process by which RSDL neutralizes is not fully understood. A literature search was performed to determine if any test data exist for the decontamination of nerve agents sarin and soman and the production of hydrolysis products, such as isopropyl methylphosphonate, pinacolyl methylphosphonate, and methyl phosphonate, or any other reaction products identified….
