Chemical and Infectious Disease Exposure in EMS
This special EMS World supplement, sponsored by Ansell, explores the critical role of personal protective equipment (PPE) and substance isolation in protecting EMS providers from chemical and infectious disease exposures. Through in-depth clinical guidance on hydrofluoric acid toxicity and measles, it outlines the pathophysiology, field recognition, treatment protocols, infection control measures, and the importance of vaccination and preparedness in preventing secondary harm.
The supplement also examines the often-overlooked risks of everyday chemical hazards, emphasizing data-driven PPE selection, proper glove use, and comprehensive respiratory and body protection to safeguard providers against both visible and invisible threats.
