Pakistan Quake Elicits Rapid ISN Response |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
ISNs reaction to Pakistans worst-ever earthquake
was to immediately send in its Renal Disaster Relief Task Force,
under the leadership of Dr. Ray Vanholder. In collaboration with
colleagues from M?decins Sans Fronti?res, Task
Force members were on the ground in Islamabad within days of
the quake, reporting regularly on the scale of this catastrophe
and anticipating the likely demands for dialysis equipment and
assistance for crush syndrome casualties.

Member Discount on Crush Syndrome Book |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
In the days following another horrific
earthquake, which occurred in Marmara, Turkey in 1999, the Turkish
Society of Nephrology, in collaboration with ISNs Renal
Disaster Relief Task Force, prepared special questionnaires to
obtain patient data and follow-up information to analyze the
extent of the nephrological problems. A recent book, entitled
The Crush Syndrome (and Lessons Learned
from the Marmara Earthquake),
is based on the 639 cases documented, constituting an unprecedented
collection of first-hand experience on crush syndrome-related
ARF following earthquakes. In addition to the data and analysis
gained from the Marmara earthquake, each chapter also summarizes
classical information on crush syndrome.
