| 内容記述 | Planning and preparedness are important for practical and appropriate action to minimize the consequence of nuclear or radiological emergency, since radiation accidents occur very rarely. Japan has developed a medical response system for radiation emergency; this system has been established in only 19 of 47 prefectures in Japan. In these 19 prefectures with nuclear facilities including nuclear power plant (NPP), some hospitals have been designated as those at primary or secondary level of radiation emergency by local governments. On the other hand, medical staff and first responders had few opportunities for education and training on radiation emergency in prefectures without nuclear facilities. Since the East Japan Great Earthquake resulted in the combined disaster with tsunami and release of radioactive materials into the environment, a lot of problems were raised in medical response to the accident of the NPP at an initial phase. One of them was treatment or transportation of contaminated patients. During March 11 and 31 2011, 30 emergency workers including members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) were treated at hospitals or clinics for trauma or illness. Fortunately, there were no patients of acute radiation syndrome. Since all hospitals which were designated as primary level of radiation emergency in Fukushima lost their function due to the earthquake/tsunami and evacuation, ambulances initially tried to bring patients to hospitals not designated as radiation emergency hospitals even if they were contaminated. However, they could not receive these patients due to lack of knowledge on radiation and its effects. Moreover, ambulance refused to transport these contaminated patients because there was no hospital to receive contaminated patients. The National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), which has been designated as a national center for radiation emergency medicine, accepted these contaminated patients. No medical staff at NIRS received significant radiation exposure, whereas radiation with a dose rate of over than 10 micro Sv/h was detected from contaminated patients. However, management is still uncertain if many workers have been contaminated at the same time. We report here our medical management of contaminated patients in the difficult situation and also our activities as experts on radiation emergency medicine at the local headquarters in Fukushima. |
