Abstract
The physical damage inflicted by blast waves is called primary blast injury, and lungs are vulnerable to blast waves [1]. Blast lung injuries (BLI) can be extremely critical during the super-acute phase, and hypotension is supposed to be the main cause of death (1) , but its etiology has not been elucidated. Recent studies have demonstrated that hypotension is mediated by the absence of vasoconstriction [2]. However, research investigated the effectiveness of catecholamine for BLI during the super-acute phase was not identified.
Highlights
The physical damage inflicted by blast waves is called primary blast injury, and lungs are vulnerable to blast waves [1]
The present study aimed to establish a small-animal model of severe Blast lung injuries (BLI) using laser-induced shock wave (LISW) and to evaluate the effect of catecholamine on the super-acute phase of severe BLI
Study 2 evaluated the effects of catecholamines as follows
