Abstract:
To deal with effectively acute chemical injury events, the service ability of protective medicine against chemical weapons has being widened from dealing with traditional chemical warfare to public chemical accident or chemical terrorist attack. Focusing on the important researching and developing of medicine for chemical defense use only, the novel drug/device combination products should be vigorously promoted including the new mechanism, good curative effect and high safety of detoxification drugs such as hydroxycobalamin used in the treatment of known or suspected cyanide poisoning in both adults and the pediatric population, and the convenient and quick drug delivering technologies such as auto-injectors with a retreat hidden needle and a smart remindful injection, which could improve greatly the emergency medical rescue ability of chemical accidents.
