Abstract

Prvi zaljevski rat obilježio je početak suvremenog ratovanja u kompleksnom kemijsko, biološko,
radiološko, nuklearno (u nastavku: KBRN) kontaminiranom okruženju. Iz tog rata nastaje tzv.
sindrom Zaljevskog rata među veteranima koji su sudjelovali u njemu jer nisu imali dovoljno
razvijene taktike, tehnike i procedure KBRN obrane za prevenciju i izbjegavanje KBRN noksi, a
posebno za detekciju, prvu pomoć te fizičku zaštitu. Sindrom Zaljevskog rata predstavlja
najistaknutiji zdravstveni problem koji pogađa veterane Zaljevskog rata. To je ozbiljno stanje s
više simptoma koje pogađa najmanje četvrtinu od 697 000 američkih veterana. Neki od
problema koji se najčešće pojavljuju su problemi s pamćenjem i koncentracijom, kronične
glavobolje, raširena bol, gastrointestinalni problemi te razni drugi problemi koji se ne mogu
dobro objasniti utvrđenim dijagnozama.

Abstract (english)

The First Gulf War marked the beginning of modern warfare in the complex chemical,
biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) contaminated environment. From that war arose the
so-called Gulf War Syndrome/Illness among the veterans who participated in it due to
insufficient tactics, techniques and procedures of the CBRN defense for the prevention and
avoidance of CBRN toxins, especially for detection, first aid and physical protection. Gulf War
Syndrome/Illness is the most prominent health problem affecting Gulf War veterans. It is a
serious, multi-symptom condition that affects at least a quarter of 697.000 U.S. veterans. Some
of the problems which occur most often are issues with memory and concentration, chronic
headaches, widespread pain, gastrointestinal problems and various other problems that cannot be
well explained by established diagnoses.
