Whole-Body Radiation Effects. Soon after irradiation, early symptoms appear, which last for a limited period of time; this is referred to as the prodromal radiation syndrome. The eventual survival time and mode of death depend on the magnitude of the dose. In most mammals three distinct modes of death can be identified, although in actual accidental exposures some overlap is frequently seen. Cerebrovascular syndrome: At very high doses, in excess of about 100 Gy (10,000 rad), death occurs 24 to 48 hours after exposure and appears to result from neurologic and cardiovascular breakdown; Gastrointestinal syndrome: At intermediate dose levels, in the order of 5 to 12 Gy (500 – 1,200 rad), death occurs in a matter of days and is associated with extensive bloody diarrhea and destruction of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Hematopoietic syndrome or bone-marrow death: At low dose levels, in the order of 2.5 to 5 Gy (250-500 rad), death occurs several weeks after exposure and is caused by effects on the blood-forming organs. The signs and symptoms of the human post-irradiation syndrome can be divided into two main groups: gastrointestinal and neuromuscular.
