Article Synopsis
- CBRNe disasters, like chemical or nuclear events, can be very dangerous and have caused many deaths in the past.
- Hospitals need to update their equipment so they can handle these emergencies better.
- A study looked at how well hospitals are prepared for such events and found that while they focus on cleaning procedures and protective gear, they mostly ignore important issues like managing bodies and patient transportation.

Article Synopsis
- Junior doctors, as first responders to CBRNE (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) disasters, lack adequate knowledge and training to manage casualties effectively.
- A study assessing the awareness and preparedness of 153 participants revealed that only 24.1% had heard of CBRNE or hazardous materials, indicating a significant knowledge gap.
- The findings highlight the urgent need for improved training and resources for first responders to enhance their ability to deal with CBRNE incidents and protect public health.

Introduction: The survivability of mass casualties exposed to a chemical attack is dependent on clinical knowledge, evidence-based practice, as well as protection and decontamination capabilities. The aim of this systematic review was to identify the knowledge gaps that relate to an efficient extraction and care of mass casualties caused by exposure to chemicals.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted from November 2018 through September 2020 in compliance with Cochrane guidelines.

Article Synopsis
The authors would like to introduce TCCC [Tactical Combat Casualty Care] + CBRN [chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear] = (MARCHE)2 as a conceptual model to frame the response to CBRN events. This model is not intended to replace existing and well-established literature on CBRNE events but rather to serve as a response tool that is an adjunct to agent specific resources.

Introduction: Management of contaminated patients in the decontamination corridor requires the use of hazardous material (HazMat) personal protective equipment (PPE). Previous studies have demonstrated that HazMat PPE may increase the difficulty of airway management. This study compared the efficiency of video laryngoscopy (VL) with traditional direct laryngoscopy (DL) during endotracheal intubation (ETI) while wearing HazMat PPE.
