ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Beagle's cranium on shockwave blocking after free field explosion, and whether a quantitative relationship exists between intra- and extracranial pressure. Methods Eighteen Beagle dogs were used in the free field explosion experiment. The explosion source was 1 kg and 3.5 kg column-shaped trinitrotoluene (TNT), which was located 1.5 m above the land to rule out the possibility of reflex. Measurment instruments were located 1-6 m from the explosion source. Head of Beagle dog was located at the same location as that of measurment instruments. After Beagle dog was anaesthetised, pressure sensor was planted under parietal bone. One side of the sensor borehole faced to the brain tissue, and the other side of the sensor borehole faced to the cranium to measure the pressure from the skull direction. All Beagle dogs were recumbent fixed, the head was positively faced to the source of explosion. Pressures from the bone and from the brain tissue were measured respectively. Results One dog died after the explosion and the remaining 17 dogs were alive. Twenty-four hours later, Tarlov scores of the alive dogs were graded 4-5, and neurofunctional score in large animals was more than 13. The peak explosive wave pressure was 207(47.6-207) kPa with a mean of 122 kPa. The maximal impact pressure impulse reached to 88 Pa·s. The pressure curve from the cranium direction of Beagle dog was similar to that from the brain tissue, but the pressure curve from the brain tissue direction changed more gently. A logarithmic trend existed of the peak pressure of the shockwave from the cranium direction and the external shockwave at the same position (correlation coefficient = 0.804). Conclusions In free field explosion, shockwave can enter the brain through cranium, chest and abdomen. The cranium has some blocking effect on the shockwave, and partial shockwave pressure can be uploaded to the brain tissue through the chest and abdomen, but because of the blocking of the body tissue, the change curve is relatively smooth.
