Blast injury of the
chest injury is the most common
wound in modern
war trauma and terrorist attacks, and is also the most fatal type of whole body
explosion injury. Most
patients with severe
blast injury of the
chest die in the early stage before
hospitalization or during
transportation, so
first aid is critically important. At present, there exist widespread problems such as non-standard
treatment and large difference in curative effect, while there lacks clinical
treatment standards for

Trauma Society of
Chinese Medical
Association has formulated the guidance of
classification, pre-
hospital first aid, in-
hospital treatment and major
injury management
strategies for
blast injury of the
chest, aiming to provide reference for
clinical diagnosis and
treatment.
