ACUTE RADIATION SICKNESS IN HUMAN: ETIOPATHOGENESIS, CLINIC, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT (LECTURE)
Under the conditions of war in Ukraine, there remains a high probability that russia will use nuclear weapons or commit terrorist acts against nuclear power plants, which will lead to exposure of the population in doses that cause
acute radiation sickness (ARS). In this regard, our medical service must be ready for the treatment of ARS of various degrees of severity under a mass influx of victims. In peacetime, ARS is a rather infrequent pathology, so most
doctors lack experience in its treatment. This article, having the form of a lecture, presents material on the pathogenesis, classification, clinic, diagnosis and treatment of ARS, taking into account the modern achievements of radiation medicine. Treatment of ARS is based on the use of pharmaceutical drugs that are licensed in Ukraine. The article will be useful for doctors and medical workers of all branches and levels of health care, who will have to deal with
irradiated persons in order to timely identify patients with ARS and provide them with effective treatment.
Key words: acute radiation sickness, bone marrow syndrome, oropharyngeal syndrome, hematopoietic growth factor, antibacterial therapy.
