This book provides a comprehensive overview of the medical and
operational management of blast and explosive incidents affecting
civilian populations. It incorporates global lessons learned from
first responders, emergency medicine providers, surgeons,
intensivists, and military specialists with deep experience in
handling blast injuries from point of injury through
rehabilitation. The book begins with background and introductory
information on blast physics, explosion types, frequency, and
perspectives from the military. This is followed by a section on
prehospital management focusing on medical and trauma responses,
triage, psychological consequences, and operational considerations.
It then examines the roles of the emergency department and ICU with
chapters on planning and training, surge capacity, resilience,
management of common injury types, contamination, and ventilator
strategies. The next section covers surgical treatment of a variety
of blast injuries such as thoracoabdominal, extremity and vascular,
and orthopedic injuries. The book then discusses medical treatment
of various injury patterns including lung, abdominal, extremity,
and traumatic brain injury. The final section of the book covers
post-hospital considerations such as rehabilitation, mental health,
and community resilience. Throughout, case studies of recent
incidents provide real-life examples of operational and medical
management. Operational and Medical Management of Explosive and
Blast Incidents is an essential resource for physicians and related
professionals, residents, nurses, and medical students in emergency
medicine, traumatic surgery, intensive care medicine, and public
health as well as civilian and military EMS providers.
