The management of blast injury.
The unique physiologic and medical consequences of blast injuries are often unrecognized and frequently poorly understood. The medical consequences, including pulmonary, gastrointestinal and auditory injury, have a defined and unique set of physiologic sequelae. Understanding the mechanism of injury, treatment issues and the potential long-term morbidity of primary blast injuries will enhance survival.
