Radiation Emergency Medical Management (REM)

Radiation Emergency Medical Management (REM) involves guidelines and protocols for responding to medical emergencies caused by radiation exposure, such as nuclear accidents or attacks. It covers evaluation, treatment, and long-term care for those affected, including managing symptoms of radiation sickness and contamination. Medical professionals use REM to provide care, mitigate harm, and ensure patient safety while coordinating with public health officials. The goal is to optimize outcomes for individuals exposed to radiation, educate the public, and enhance preparedness for potential radiation-related emergencies.
