Radiation Emergency Medical Management (REMM)

Radiation Emergency Medical Management (REMM) refers to a coordinated approach for responding to medical incidents involving radiation exposure. It provides guidelines for healthcare professionals on assessing and treating patients who have been exposed to radiation, whether from a nuclear accident, bomb detonation, or other sources. REMM emphasizes the importance of protecting both patients and medical staff, managing symptoms, and preventing further contamination. This system also includes resources for public information and protective measures, ensuring communities can effectively respond to and recover from radiation-related emergencies.
