INTEGRATED AND ADAPTIVE RESPONSES TO TOXIC EMERGENCIES FOR RAPID TRIAGE: ENGINEERING THE ROADMAP FROM CASUALTY TO PATIENT TO SURVIVOR.

Risultati finali

Cross-cultural and social factors in planning for crises management

A white paper that will address the direct tension between the privacy-by-design principal and the need to establish situation awareness. Our ethics and governance panel will be tasked to oversee this activity and comment on the project’s findings on design standards, ethical guidelines, codes of practice and professional standards for emergency CBRN responses within ethnically and culturally highly heterogeneous communities. • Key Headings will include: • Processes • Communication protocols • Consented and non-consented physical and virtual interventions

Guidelines for the care and triage of vulnerable groups in crises-management operations

A report with design and operational guidelines for the triage and management of casualties with: cognitive impairment, mobility impairment, sensory impairment, clinical complications (bariatric patients, cardiac, respiratory, diabetes, liver, kidney diseases, immune compromised and casualties with cancer), pregnancy, lone children, and finally casualties impaired from alcohol and recreational drug use.

Annual reports, with restricted technical annexes

Six monthly activity and financial reports supported by summaries of milestones and deliverables will be produced and highlighted in our bulletin. These will be compiled, indexed and summarised for the annual reports and review. Furthermore formal and detailed presentation supported by appropriate technical specialists will be given by the co-ordinator to the annual conferences and project reviews.

Report on the Clinical trials

Research Papers reporting on the findings from the clinical studies undertaken in Norway, Scotland, and Sri-Lanka on the diagnosis and identification of poisoning.

Messages for Clear and compelling communication during crises management

A systematically catalogued and indexed lexicon of timely and compelling instructions, briefings and prepared messages for all types of media and stake-holders

Triage verification facility

Laboratory infrastructure and SOPs for the evaluation of C-, B-, R/N triage systems challenged by pesticides, chlorine, chloropicrin, sarin, VX- nerve agents, ricin, and the N42 34 ANSI isotope list. A range of matrices including: food, water, clothing (PPE) and building materials under a range of environmental conditions will be included.

The public's interface to the Project

Promotional campaign trade exhibitions with press and media events

A dissemination strategy and delivery timetable for three annual campaigns supporting commercial development of TOXI-triage outcomes involving press releases; social media, trade conferences, publications; research conferences; training materials and events. Scheduling and logistical planning to integrate meetings, workshops, reviews and field trials into the dissemination and marketing plan. A secondary and equally significant dissemination pathway will be the co-ordination of our activity, followed by the transfer of know-how and methodologies into CBRN research programmes undertaken by government laboratories, such as Dstl and Bundeswehr Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology.

Data and publication repository

The repository will also include all PU dissemination level deliverables from TOXI-triage. (All subject to security clearance evaluation) TOXI-triage will provide immediate, unrestricted, on-line access to published output of publically funded research; often referred to as the ‘gold’ route. Supporting data will also be lodged in the repository.

Database of biomarkers of exposure to chemical, radiological and nuclear hazards

A data base will consolidate, and link to other metabolomics repositories, the outcomes of: • In-clinic metabolomic definition studies describing markers of injury, prognosis, and recovery for OP pesticides (study based at SATRC), toxic alcohol adulterants of drink (Oslo University Hospital, Norway, and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, UK,) and radiation injury (Edinburgh Cancer Research Centre, UK). • In-vitro studies presenting data from liver-liposomes and infused organ (animal, pig, ) challenges by live agents chemical (chlorine, chloropicrin, sarin and VX-nerve agents), biological (ricin), and radiation exposures.

Social media data for crises management operations implementation

ICT tools for distributed knowledge extraction, dynamic semantic modelling and embedded reasoning recovered from social network data streams. This deliverable will use proven techniques that have resulted in the highly effective Natural Language Processing E-mail Knowledge Extraction (EKE) system.

Business plans and commercialisation outcomes

A high-level strategy and manifesto for the realisation of: • An effective dissemination strategy. • Integration with CBRN networks established through previous initiatives • Compliance with current standards. • Realise opportunities for commercial exploitation in other sectors, with special emphasis on emergency medicine, environmental protection and fire and rescue. • an approach to the European Medicines Agency to propose registration of the methodologies and any biomarkers of CBRN injury.

Prototype diagnostic system for toxicity injury and exposure

Presentation of optimized prototypes ( sampling, analytics, data-flows, and patient stratification) by studying patients with exposure to OP pesticides, toxic alcohol adulterants, and radiation, as well as exposure to unknown chemicals.

Prototype sampling system for reproducible non-invasive Clinical sampling.

Devices, systems and SOPs for the non-invasive sampling from suspected casualties with breath, skin and saliva variants.
