RODRIGUEZ LORA, Haydeé and RODRIGUEZ LORA, Efrén. Proposal of a program to act in case of chemical emergencies. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2006, vol.35, n.1. ISSN 0138-6557.
An applied qualitative research was conducted to prepare a training program for the medical and paramedical staff aimed at preventing, planning, and responding to a chemical emergency. This program, in whose creation theoretical and empirical methods of research were used, gives us the theoretical and practical elements, and the methodology to take actions of prevention, planning, and response to chemical emergencies. This program is designed for a total of 120 hours/classes, applicable as postgraduate courses, where themes of toxicology are integrated, and a contextualized content is given, combining theory with practice.
