Abdominal Blast Injury

Abstract

Blast injury is a variety of injuries caused by the release of energy after the blast wave formed by detonation acts on the human body, which is mainly caused by shock wave overpressure and negative pressure, that is, primary injury or simple blast injury. The generalized blast injury also includes the injury caused by the direct action of the shock wave on the human body or the throwing and displacement of the human body, and the injury caused by the secondary projectile formed by the shock wave hitting the human body or the collapse of the building hitting the human body. Abdominal blast injury refers to all kinds of injuries caused by blast wave on human abdomen, often compound injury. Due to the large abdominal surface area and large number of organs, the incidence of abdominal injury caused by shock wave is high, the injury condition is complex, and most of them are closed abdominal injury, with strong concealment and high missed diagnosis rate, which greatly affects the treatment efficiency of the wounded.
