Toxic exposures from inadvertent release of vehicle or payload chemicals and materials used in the operations of spaceflight are unique among them. There is a need for identification and development of clinical protocols for the management of toxic exposures before, during, and after spaceflight, particularly for acute exposures, because these events are likely to occur in austere environments with limited resources. The need for publicly available protocols is gaining importance as commercial spaceflight operations advance, and future spaceflight missions will require independence from Earth. This paper reviews the publicly available literature on toxic exposures in spaceflight to inform the development of relevant clinical practice guidelines. We performed a focused literature review and identified significant aerospace toxicologic incidents, including fatalities, injuries, and near-miss events. Sources included NASA-published literature, NASA safety reviews, published case reports, and published review articles. Searches were performed using the NASA Technical Reports Server, Google Scholar, and PubMed, and we included all cases involving exposure or potential exposure to an agent that could cause acute toxicity in spaceflight missions. Thirty-four cases were identified involving agents that can cause acute toxic effects. The two most common agents identified in acute toxicologic exposures in spaceflight operations were hydrazine and ammonia. These incidents can help us identify high-risk exposures so that we can develop protocols for the detection and management of future toxic exposures.</p>","PeriodicalId":49360,"journal":{"name":"Wilderness & Environmental Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"10806032251313960"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143256756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous work has defined and laid the foundation for EIMO, but further development of the concept is required to prepare for future exploration missions. <b>Methods</b> -NASA's Exploration Medical Capability element organized a series of 5 technical interchange meetings from 2023 to 2024, which included internal (NASA) and external subject-matter experts in human spaceflight, health technology, and austere medicine to create a framework for developing the technologies and procedures necessary to maintain human health and performance in a progressively Earth-independent fashion. <b>Results</b> -The EIMO technical interchange meetings provided a forum for a field of experts and stakeholders to better understand gaps between current approaches to medical care in low-Earth orbit and the innovations needed to maintain the health and performance of astronauts on long-duration deep-space missions. These discussions were recorded, analyzed, and collated into reports that can inform the maturation of EIMO concepts. <b>Conclusions</b> -Multidisciplinary input from experts with experience in human spaceflight, health technology, and austere medicine is critical when planning for long-duration exploration missions. Innovations such as probabilistic risk assessment tools, extended reality devices, and advanced clinical artificial intelligence capabilities have been identified as high-value targets that can enhance inflight medical autonomy while maintaining appropriate workload balance and crew safety.

A 23-y-old female presented with a laceration superior to the patella of the left leg. On examination, the wound tracked deep, and providers had concern for traumatic arthrotomy. Lacerations around the knee have the highest risk for traumatic arthrotomy of any joint. This risk is due to the joint capsule of the knee extending up to 12 cm proximally from the joint line of the knee, making suprapatellar lacerations a risk. Although surgical evaluation is the gold standard for diagnosing a traumatic arthrotomy, computed tomography scan has been shown to be more sensitive than the saline-load test for identifying open traumatic arthrotomies. However, computed tomography scan was not available at the ski area clinic, and the authors have found the saline-load test to be extremely painful for patients. In this case, a novel technique using ultrasound to visualize a sterile cotton swab being inserted into the wound until it contacted the knee's joint line successfully identified a traumatic arthrotomy in a proximal knee laceration. The patient was transferred to a trauma center, where she had a surgical washout of her left knee joint. In conclusion, providers should be aware of the risk of traumatic arthrotomy in wounds that are proximal/superior to the patella.
