Abstract:
Objective To study the characteristics of ocular trauma inside of the tank after being bit by the antitank bombs to provide experimental evidences for defense- and-treatment of ocular trauma. Methods A total of 48 health sheep were divided into 3 groups and put into a tank separately. The three different caliber antitank bombs were used to shot the tank forearmor: large high-energy bomb for Group I, intermediate armor-piercing explosive fire bomb for Group Ⅱ, small armor-piercing fire bomb for Group Ⅲ. After the hit, the harmful gases, temperature, blast overpressure within the cabin and the injury situations of eyes were checked. Results After fire, harmful gases and blast overpressure were increased, but the temperature was not obviously changed. Each bomb explosion caused obvious reaction in blood vessel of uvea and retina, edema and degeneration as well as the changes of ultrastructure in retina. Conclusion The ocular trauma inside of the tank are complex and serious and related to the weapon calibre, class, and wounding effect. Closed ocular trauma has the characteristics of slight wound outside and serious wound inside as well as obvious reaction in blood vessels of uvea and retina.
