                                  INFORMATION PAPER

        SU]3,JECT: Convulsant Antidote Nerve Agent (CANA)



        1.  Purpose. To provide information on the CANA.

        2.  Facts.

            a. significant exposure to nerve agents will cause convulsions
        and may result in brain damage.

            b. The CANA is an autoinjector which contains an
        anticonvulsant medication which if given immediately or before the
        onset of convulsions can mitigate or prevent associated brain
        damage.

            c. The basis of issue for the CANA is one per soldier.

            d. The CANA is administered only by buddy aid or by the
        soldier's buddy. The soldier will not self administer the CANA
        because if he/she is conscious and is aware of what is happening,
        the soldier has not been severely exposed to nerve agents. The
        CANA is administered after the third NAAK is administered to the
        soldier by his/her buddy.
