In the past, blast injuries were associated strictly with war and catastrophic industrial accidents. Unfortunately, these injuries are on the front lines of each ED and EMS system in the form of pipe bombs and terrorist plots. Domestically and internationally, the incidence of blast injuries is sporadic and infrequent. The injuries often are the result of fireworks--10,000-12,000 ED visits annually for this reason.(1)
过去，爆炸伤严格来说仅与战争和灾难性工业事故相关。不幸的是，如今这些伤害以管状炸弹和恐怖袭击阴谋的形式出现在每个急诊室和急救医疗服务系统的前沿。在国内和国际上，爆炸伤的发生率都是零星且不常见的。这些伤害往往是由烟花导致的——每年因此有1万至1.2万人次前往急诊室就诊。(1)
