Primary blast survival and injury risk assessment for repeated blast exposures

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2012
The widespread use of explosives by modern insurgents and terrorists has increased the potential frequency of blast exposure in soldiers and civilians. This growing threat highlights the importance of understanding and evaluating blast injury risk and the increase of injury risk from exposure to repeated blast effects.Data from more than 3,250 large ...

Effects of Blast Exposure on Exercise Performance in Sheep

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 2000
The effects of blast on maximal exercise performance were investigated in sheep that were trained to perform maximal exercise.Sheep were fully instrumented for determination of pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics. Blast exposure was administered by using a compressed air driven shock tube that was positioned to primarily produce cardiopulmonary injury.

Long-Term Effects of Blast Exposure: A Functional Study in Rats Using an Advanced Blast Simulator [PDF]

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2020
Anecdotal observations of blast victims indicate that significant neuropathological and neurobehavioral defects may develop at later stages of life. To pre-clinically model this phenomenon, we have examined neurobehavioral changes in rats up to 1 year after exposure to single and tightly coupled repeated blasts using an advanced blast simulator ...

Carbon monoxide exposure in blast furnace workers

Australian Journal of Public Health, 1992
Abstract: This study investigated the occupational exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) of a group of blast furnace workers from an integrated steelworks, compared to a control group having no significant occupational CO exposure from other areas in the same works. The study was undertaken in 1984 at Port Kembla, New South Wales. Carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb)

Head Injury and Blast Exposure: Vestibular Consequences

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2011
Young adults are more likely to suffer blast injury and traumatic brain injury (TBI) than other age groups. This article reviews the literature on the vestibular consequences of blast exposure and TBI and concussion. In addition, the vestibular test findings obtained from 31 veterans with a history of blast exposure and/or mild TBI are presented.

Survival Risk Assessment for Primary Blast Exposures to the Head

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2011
Many soldiers returning from the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have had at least one exposure to an explosive event and a significant number have symptoms consistent with traumatic brain injury. Although blast injury risk functions have been determined and validated for pulmonary injury, there is little information on the blast levels ...

Lung Injury and Recovery After Exposure to Blast Overpressure

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 2006
A critical immediate determinant of survival after exposure to blast overpressure (BOP) is pulmonary damage, but mechanisms of injury and the course of recovery are not well understood. The objective of this study was to characterize the progression of oxidative and inflammatory responses in lungs as well as the activation of consequent protective ...

Lung injury risk assessment during blast exposure

Journal of Biomechanics, 2019
Blast pulmonary trauma are common consequences of modern war and terrorism action. To better protect soldiers from that threat, the injury risk level when protected and unprotected must be assessed. Knowing from the literature that a possible amplification of the blast threat would be provided by some thoracic protective systems, the objective is to ...

Lead, Chromium, and Cadmium Exposure during Abrasive Blasting

Archives of Environmental Health: An International Journal, 1996
An evaluation of lead, cadmium, and chromium exposure was conducted during abrasive blasting of a steel bridge to remove paint in preparation for repainting. Airborne lead concentrations were measured at several locations inside the containment structure, as well as near the workers' breathing zones.
