Blast Injury Management

Blast injury management involves assessing and treating injuries caused by explosions, which can affect the body internally and externally. The first priority is ensuring safety for both the injured and rescuers. Check for airway, breathing, and circulation issues, providing oxygen and stopping bleeding. Cover wounds to prevent infection, monitor for signs of shock, and avoid unnecessary movement if spinal injuries are suspected. Transport the injured promptly to a medical facility for specialized care. Continued monitoring and supportive treatments, such as IV fluids or pain management, are essential, as blast injuries can cause complex trauma requiring comprehensive evaluation and intervention.
