Abstract

Children exposed to blast events ranging from low-energy fireworks to high-energy explosions can suffer severe, life-threatening injuries. Optimizing survival for these young victims requires a detailed understanding of the common injury patterns, appreciation of the physiologic response of children to blast injuries, and availability of the resources and supplies needed to manage critically injured children. This chapter reviews the epidemiology of blast injuries in children, the physiologic response to blast injury, a recommended approach to injury identification in blast-injured children, and an overview of specific injuries by organ system.
