  • Title: Chemical terrorism attacks: update on antidotes.
    Author: Lawrence DT, Kirk MA.
    Journal: Emerg Med Clin North Am; 2007 May; 25(2):567-95; abstract xi. PubMed ID: 17482033.
    Abstract:
    There is well-founded concern that a chemical or radioactive agent will at some point be used as a weapon of terror. There are several antidotes that, if used correctly in a timely fashion, can help lessen the harm caused by these agents. This article is meant to introduce the clinician to several such agents, along with the antidotes useful in the management of exposure to these. It covers the indications, administration, and precautions for using these antidotes.
