Decontamination of the exposed individual is also important to prevent further absorption of the agent. Immediate medical attention is crucial in cases of nerve agent exposure to minimize the effects and improve the chances of recovery.
An ATNAA (Antidote Treatment Nerve Agent Autoinjector) or CANA (Convulsive Antidote, Nerve Agent) auto-injector should be held in place for approximately 10 seconds to ensure proper administration of the antidote.
