Abstract:
With the continuous improvement in weaponry, especially explosive weapons, blast injury has become one of the most common war injuries. Underwater blast injury is a common war injury during combat around islands or fighting for beach-head. The wounding effects of underwater blast wave and the characteristics of underblast injury are quite different from that produced in air due to special physical features of water and the underwater pressure. We have investigated the injurious effects of underwater blast wave and its dose-effect relationship. In addition, some protective measures have been tested to prevent or alleviate underwater blast injury. All of these primary results have provided both experimental and theoretical foundation evidence for further researches in respect to the diagnosis, emergency care and protection against underwater blast injury.
