Abstract
Objective To observe shock injury inflicted by underwater blasts at different ranges on animals placed onboard the ship. Methods In the underwater blast experiment onboard a certain minesweeper, rabbits were used to study the damaging effects of shock inflicted by underwater blasts. Indexes of the internal organs, the skeleton system and blood were detected following underwater blasts. Results Main manifestations of shock injury were dotted or patchy hemorrhages on the surface of the lung organ, and bone fractures in a few animals. Conclusions Experimental results indicated that the animals in working condition one had moderate to severe injury, while the animals in working condition two had severe injury.
