Explain the causes and types of injuries that can result from tertiary blast injuries.

Tertiary blast injuries can result from being displaced through the air and impacting on another object by the blast wind, or from a structure collapsing and causing injury. The resulting injury can be blunt trauma due to impact or penetrating injury if the victim is propelled and the striking structure enters the body. Injuries are determined by what the victim strikes, and the severity of the injuries is determined by the strength of the explosion. High explosive blasts can cause skull fractures, fractured bones, head injuries, or any traumatic injury (open or closed injuries, chest, abdominal, pelvic injuries, amputations, spinal injuries, and any others).

How can high explosive blasts lead to a variety of injuries? Provide examples.

High explosive blasts can cause skull fractures, fractured bones, head injuries, or any traumatic injury such as open or closed injuries, chest, abdominal, pelvic injuries, amputations, spinal injuries, and any others. The severity and type of injury depend on the strength of the explosion and what the victim strikes. Signup and view all the answers

What are the two main mechanisms through which tertiary blast injuries can occur?
