In the battle against bioterrorism, one of the greatest challenges
is finding the ideal balance between complacency and overreaction.
The goal is to be so well prepared that we can prevent catastrophic
outcomes in the event of a bioterrorist attack, while strengthening
our ability to prevent and treat naturally-occurring infectious
diseases. Bioterrorism: A Guide for Hospital Preparedness provides
critical guidelines for health providers on effectively preparing
for bioterrorism. The book presents information on all aspects of
dealing with bioterrorism including the likeliest biological agents
to be used, means of determining that an attack is taking place,
diagnosis and management of specific diseases, and mechanisms of
reporting to public health authorities. The text reviews
cooperative planning for private practitioners, methods for
protecting hospital and office staff and other patients in the
event of an attack, approaches to handling the psychological
effects of terrorism, special considerations concerning the care of
children, and strategies for answering questions posed by the
public and the media. It also includes data from national and
regional exercises in assessing preparedness, with suggestions for
implementing lessons learned from these exercises. With
bioterrorism on the fine line between risk and reality, it is
essential for health care providers to be properly equipped for
every situation. This comprehensive guide features solid strategies
for establishing and maintaining an attainable level of preparation
in the ever-present risk of bioterrorism.
