AbstractIntroduction: Concern exists that radiation exposure from computerized tomography (CT) will cause thousands of malignancies. Other experts share the same perspective regarding the risk from additional sources of low-dose ionizing radiation, such as the releases from Three Mile Island (1979; Pennsylvania USA) and Fukushima (2011; Okuma, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan) nuclear power plant disasters. If this premise is false, the fear of cancer leading patients and physicians to avoid CT scans and disaster responders to initiate forcedevacuations is unfounded.Study Objective: This investigation provides a quantitative evaluation of the methodologic quality of studies to determine the evidentiary strength supporting or refuting a causal relationshipbetween low-dose radiation and cancer. It will assess the number of higher qualitystudies that support or question the role of low-dose radiation in oncogenesis.Methods: This investigation is a systematic, methodologic review of articles published from 1975–2017 examining cancer risk from external low-dose x-ray and gamma radiation, defined as less than 200 millisievert (mSv). Following the PRISMA guidelines, the authors performed a search of the PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Methodologies of selected articles were scored using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) and a tool identifying 11 lower quality indicators. Manuscript methodologies were rankedas higher quality if they scored no lower than seven out of nine on the NOS and contained no more than two lower quality indicators. Investigators then characterized articles as supporting or not supporting a causal relationship between low-dose radiation and cancer.Results: Investigators identified 4,382 articles for initial review. A total of 62 articles met all inclusion/exclusion criteria and were evaluated in this study. Quantitative evaluation of the manuscripts’ methodologic strengths found 25 studies met higher quality criteria while 37 studies met lower quality criteria. Of the 25 studies with higher quality methods, 21 out of 25did not support cancer induction by low-dose radiation (P = .0003).Conclusions: A clear preponderance of articles with higher quality methods found no increased risk of cancer from low-dose radiation. The evidence suggests that exposure to multiple CT scans and other sources of low-dose radiation with a cumulative dose up to 100 mSv (approximately 10 scans), and possibly as high as 200 mSv (approximately 20 scans), does not increase cancer risk.

- Abstract
Introduction: Airway obstruction is the second leading cause of potentially survivable death on the battlefield. The Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) has evolving recommendations for the optimal supraglottic airway (SGA) device for inclusion to the medics' aid bag., Methods: We convened an expert consensus panel consisting of a mix of 8 prehospital specialists, emergency medicine experts, and experienced combat medics, with the intent to offer recommendations for optimal SGA selection. Prior to meeting, we independently reviewed previously published studies conducted by our study team, conducted a virtual meeting, and summarized the findings to the panel. The studies included an analysis of end-user after action reviews, a market analysis, engineering testing, and prospective feedback from combat medics. The panel members then made recommendations regarding their top 3 choices of devices including the options of military custom design. Simple descriptive statistics were used to analyze panel recommendations., Results: The preponderance (7/8, 88%) of panel members recommended the gel-cuffed SGA, followed by the self-inflating-cuff SGA (5/8, 62%) and laryngeal tube SGA (5/8, 62%). Panel members expressed concerns primarily related to the (1) devices' tolerance for the military environment, and (2) ability to effectively secure the gel-cuffed SGA and the self-inflating-cuff SGA during transport., Conclusions: A preponderance of panel members selected the gel-cuff SGA with substantial feedback highlighting the need for military-specific customizations to support the combat environment needs.

- Abstract
Background: Prehospital surgical cricothyrotomies and complications from placement are an important and under-evaluated topic for both the military and civilian prehospital populations. This study uses the Department of Defense Trauma Registry to identify complications and the incidence of complications in prehospital combat surgical cricothyrotomies., Methods: A secondary analysis of previously described prehospital-based dataset from the Department of Defense Trauma Registry (DODTR) was performed. Casualties who had a prehospital cricothyrotomy performed were isolated and assessed for documented airway injuries and surgical procedures after hospital admission., Results: There were 25,8976 casualties in the original dataset, of which 251 met inclusion for this analysis. The median age was 25 and most (98%) were male. Explosives were most frequent (55%) followed by firearm (33%) mechanisms. Most were host nation partner forces (35%) and humanitarian (32%) casualties. The median injury severity score was 24. The most frequent seriously injured body region was the head/neck (61%). Most (61%) were discharged alive. Within the 251, 14% had a complication noted, most commonly requiring tracheostomy revision (5%)., Conclusions: Cricothyrotomies are rarely performed, but when they are performed and the casualty survives long enough to reach a military treatment facility with surgical capabilities, the incidence of near-term and long-term complications is high. A better understanding of outcomes associated with this procedure will enable more targeted training and technology development.

- Abstract
Objectives: This information paper will describe the current research and recommendations for improving healthcare worker's (HCW) mental health. Individual and organizational goals will be outlined with items broken up into the time frames of predisaster, during a disaster, and post-disaster., Methods: A team of subject matter experts reviewed the current literature utilizing a search of PubMed, Google Scholar, relevant article reference lists, and subject matter interviews., Results: Thirty-six distinct recommendations were identified and distributed into the time frames of predisaster, during a disaster, and post-disaster. Twenty-one of these are pertaining to organizational goals and factors. Fifteen recommendations are identified for individual HCWs., Conclusions: Additional institutional and government policies supporting the protection of HCW's mental health are required to reduce the stigma and fear, preventing frontline workers from seeking help with the psychological effects of disasters, mass casualty incidents, and pandemics. Further research dealing with ways to ameliorate the negative effects of the stress related to the duties and responsibilities of HCWs, which are exacerbated by disasters, is needed.
