  • Impact of antidote quantity, timing and prehospital strategies in nerve agent mass casualty events

    Open AccessRuben De Rouck, Mehdi Benhassine et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction: Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) involving nerve agents pose major challenges for emergency medical response due to rapid symptom onset, hazardous environments, and operational uncertainties. Several gaps remain in the knowledge about the prehospital response to nerve agent MCI treatment strategies and logistical decision-making. To address these gaps, this study uses Discrete Event Simulation to evaluate the impact of advanced medica…

  • Creating realistic nerve agent victim profiles for computer simulation of medical CBRN disaster response

    Open AccessRuben De Rouck, Mehdi Benhassine et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    In the last decades, Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) threats have become serious risks prompting countries to prioritize preparedness for such incidents. As CBRN scenarios are very difficult and expensive to recreate in real life, computer simulation is particularly suited for assessing the effectiveness of contingency plans and identifying areas of improvement. These computer simulation exercises require realistic and dynam…
