The authors conducted a literature review to identify challenges associated with Emergency Department (ED) CBRNE response. They concluded that “response planning and preparation should be considered at three levels: organizational (policies and procedures); technological (decontamination, communication, security, clinical care, and treatment); and individual (willingness to respond, PPE, knowledge, and competence),” and that there is a gap “specific to detection and diagnosis of CBRNE exposure on self-presenting patients in the ED.”
