CHEMM-IST is a prototype decision support tool developed by experts in medicine and emergency response as an aid for identifying the chemical a patient was exposed to in a mass casualty incident. Toxic syndromes or toxidromes are easily identified with only a few observations.
The key data points to determine toxidromes are easily identified by first responders with basic EMT training. The focus of CHEMM-IST is only on severe cases, and CHEMM-IST assumes that the patient has only inhaled the chemical and that the chemical has not deposited on the skin.
Feedback is welcome and encouraged. Please contact the CHEMM development team if you would like to offer comments about CHEMM-IST or encounter any issues with the tool.
