Diethylene-Triamine-Penta-Acetate Administration Protocol for Radiological Emergency Medicine in Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing Plants

Pages 199-206 | Published online: 07 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Inhalation therapy of diethylene-triamine-penta-acetate (DTPA) should be initiated immediately to workers who have significant incorporation of plutonium, americium or curium in the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant. A newly designed electric mesh nebulizer is a small battery-operated passive vibrating mesh device, in which vibrations in an ultrasonic horn are used to force drug solution through a mesh of micron-sized holes. This nebulizer enables DTPA administration at an early stage in the event of a radiation emergency from contamination from the above radioactive metals.
