1. HEAD INJURIES
• May or may not include history of loss of consciousness
• Headache, seizures, dizziness, memory problems
• Gait/balance problems, nausea/vomiting, difficulty
concentrating.
• Visual disturbances, tinnitus, slurred speech.
• Disoriented, irritability, confusion.
• Extremity weakness or numbness.
2. TYMPANIC MEMBRANE – EAR INJURIES
• Evaluate and resuscitate per standing protocols.
• Impaired hearing may complicate triage process.
• Secondary evaluation and examination to identify all blast-
related injuries including perforated tympanic membranes.
• Serious blast injuries can occur in the absence or presence
of tympanic membrane rupture.
• Stable patients without signs and symptoms of significant
blast injury, may be discharged after 4 to 6 hours of
observation despite the presence of TM rupture.
• Patients should have urgent consultation and follow up care
with ENT specialist.
• Spontaneous healing occurs in 50-80% of all patients with
perforations.
3. ABDOMINAL INJURIES
• Treatment follows established protocols.
• Perforations can be delayed and develop 24 to
48 hours post blast. Manifestations of
peritonitis can occur hours or days after a
blast.
• There is the possibility of missed injury,
especially in semiconscious or unconscious
patients.
SECONDARY INJURIES
• Results from flying debris and bomb
fragments causing shrapnel wounds.
• Common injuries include:
Trauma to the head, neck, chest, abdomen,
and extremities in the form of penetrating and
blunt trauma.
Fractures
Soft tissue injuries
TERTIARY INJURIES
• Results from individuals being thrown by the
blast wind.
• Common injuries include:
Head injuries
Skull fractures
Bone fractures
QUATERNARY INJURIES
• All explosion-related injuries, illnesses, or
diseases not due to primary, secondary, or
tertiary mechanisms.
• Common injuries include:
Burns
Head injuries
Exacerbation of pre-existing medical
conditions
COMBINED INJURIES
• avoid tunnel vision on one injury.
• Monitor fluid replacement amounts when
treating blast lung with another injury to avoid
fluid overload which can exacerbate blast lung
injury.
• Airway management and oxygenation/
ventilation are critical and performed with
standard techniques.

Circulatory Cardiac contusion, myocardial infarction from air embolism,
shock, vasovagal hypotension, peripheral vascular injury, air
embolism-induced injury
CNS injury Concussion, closed and open brain injury, stroke, spinal cord
injury, air embolism-induced injury
Renal Injury Renal contusion, laceration, acute renal failure due to
rhabdomyolysis, hypotension, and hypovolemia
Extremity injury Traumatic amputation, fractures, crush injuries,
compartment
syndrome, burns, cuts, lacerations, acute arterial occlusion,
air embolism-induced injury
BURN/BLAST INJURY
• PREHOSPITAL
• Burn injury will require significant amounts of fluid
resuscitation while avoiding fluid overload to prevent
further pulmonary injury.
• Fluid resuscitation targeted to vital signs, to avoid
hypotension; judicious fluid administration to maintain
perfusion without volume overload.
• Transfer to a facility with specific expertise in both trauma
and burn management, or at least the trauma
management.
• HOSPITAL
• Fluid resuscitation guided by urine output. Consider
monitoring central venous pressure, and systemic vascular
resistance when indicated.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
The pathophysiology of burn wounds is a slowly
evolving process, unlike many other forms of
trauma. Whatever the mechanism, burn injuries
cause a local response and, in complex burns, a
systemic response.
Local response
The local response to a burn injury consists of
inflammation, regeneration and repair. A burn may
be divided into three zones.
1. Zone of coagulation/necrosis
— At the centre of the wound
— No tissue perfusion
— Irreversible tissue damage due to coagulation of
proteins
• Zone of stasis
— Surrounds the central zone of coagulation
— Decreased tissue perfusion
— Some chance of tissue recovery with optimal
management
• Zone of hyperaemia
— At the periphery of the wound
— Good tissue perfusion
— Tissue recovery likely.
These zones are dynamic environments. In the
superficial areas and around the edges, the
usual process of repair occurs (in growth of
capillaries and fibroblasts followed by formation
of granulation tissue and scar).
After 3–4 days, loss of tissue viability in the zone
of stasis (for example, due to delayed or
suboptimal management) will cause the burn
wound to become deeper and wider.
• Systemic response
In complex burns of more than 20–30% TBSA,
there is also a systemic response due to the
extensive release of inflammatory mediators at
the injury site. The effects are far reaching and
include systemic hypotension, broncho
constriction, a threefold increase in basal
metabolic rate and a reduced immune response.

Assessing Burn Area
1. Non-Complex Burn (Minor Burn)
• any partial thickness thermal burn covering <15% total
body surface area (TBSA) in adults or <10% in children
(<5% in children younger than 1 year) that does not
affect a critical area*. Includes deep dermal burns
covering 1% of the body.
2. Complex Burn
• any thermal burn injury affecting a critical area* or
covering >15% TBSA in adults or >10% in children (>5%
in children younger than 1 year). All chemical and
electrical burns are considered complex.
