title: [Lung injuries caused by explosion in rabbits. 1. The experimental model of the injury].
abstract: A model for producing blasts of medium strength was developed. The injuries lead to the death of 25 to 50% of the experimental rabbits. The injuries were tested physically by direct measurements. The explosion of 225 g TNT in the air in 110 cm distance killed 35% of the rabbits. The corpus of the rabbit absorbed 67% of the energy of the blast in 0.46 ms in average. The average of the maximum positive pressure in the blast was 25.4 +/- 3.1 bar.
