Treatment

Casualties from a mass casualty incident who have marrow toxic injuries will require intensive care to recover. The Radiation Injury Treatment Network SM (RITN SM) makes triage and treatment guidelines available to all medical providers to help respond to catastrophic disasters.

RITN Acute Radiation Syndrome Treatment Guidelines

A comprehensive guide to principles of acute radiation syndrome management at RITN centers including crisis standards after a nuclear detonation, casualty triage after a nuclear detonation, acute radiation syndrome management and stem cell support.

Aplastic Anemia Protocol

The treatment protocol for patients with severe aplastic anemia is who a acute radiation syndrome patient who needs a marrow transplant should be prepared for transplant. A RITN hospital or bone marrow transplant physician should be consulted prior to any preparation or transplantation.

IRB Materials

Any casualty treated at a RITN hospital will have data collected for retrospective analysis and research studies. These NMDP created and CIBMTR® (Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research®) maintained protocols will allow hospitals to gain approval to seek patient consent to collect data and to collect samples for the NMDP research repository.

Marrow Toxic Injury Data Collection Protocol

The research database is a comprehensive data source that can be used to study hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The database includes baseline and outcome recipient data for related and unrelated allogeneic (any cell source) and autologous transplants. Data is also collected from unrelated donors on their donation experiences.

Marrow Toxic Injury Subject Research Consents

The Research Sample Repository contains cell and serum samples collected from related and unrelated transplant donors, cord blood units and recipients. The primary objective of the Research Sample Repository is to make these samples available for research studies related to histocompatibility and hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).
