RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Care of victims of suicide bombing JF Canadian Journal of Surgery JO CAN J SURG FD Canadian Medical Association SP S184 OP S187 DO 10.1503/cjs.015618 VO 61 IS 6 Suppl 1 A1 Raymond L. Kao A1 Vivian C. McAlister YR 2018 UL http://canjsurg.ca/content/61/6_Suppl_1/S184.abstract AB Suicide bombers often target crowds. This commentary discusses the additional features required in a medical response beyond conventional mass casualty care, including forensic documentation, preservation of evidence, suspect tissue identification and viral status, victim counselling and postexposure prophylaxis. We propose a pathway for care of victims of a suicide bomb, adapting elements from protocols for child abuse, sexual assault and needle-stick exposure.
