Secondary injuries are ballistic trauma caused by impacts of flying shrapnels and other objects propelled by the explosion. [8] These injuries may affect any part of the body and sometimes result in penetrating trauma with visible bleeding . [ 9 ]
Jun 8, 2017 · In order to detect any possible different ways of the pressure wave’s passage to the brain, the animals were exposed in the following three different ways: with the whole body exposed to the shock wave; the whole body except the head protected from the shock wave; and only the head protected.

Aug 6, 2021 · Primary injuries (PBIs) are caused by the effect of transmitted blast waves on gas-containing structures; secondary injuries, by the impact of airborne debris; tertiary injury, by the...
Apr 4, 2023 · Secondary blast injuries result when strong blast winds behind the pressure front propel fragments and debris against the body and cause blunt force and penetrating injuries including: Penetrating ballistic (fragmentation or blunt injuries)
Jul 17, 2023 · Secondary blast injuries account for the majority of injuries from an explosion event. The blast wave can carry debris a considerable distance causing injuries to anyone in its path. In intentional explosive devices, often they are constructed with the intent to injure as many people as possible.
Nov 3, 2023 · INTRODUCTION. Electrical injuries can present with a wide range of pathologies. The direct effect of electrical current, conversion of electrical to thermal energy, and blunt mechanical trauma can result in tissue destruction and organ dysfunction.
