Abstract
Data on blast injuries in peacetime are provided (accidental or intentional methane explosions in mines, tanks with gas, explosives, fuel or gas, gas pipelines, product pipelines, as well as explosion of military ordnance - grenades, mines, fuses, shells, which were accidentally found by children or maliciously used by terrorists). There were collected epidemiological data on man-made disasters in coal mines and blast injuries during terrorist attacks, the physical parameters of which could be identified only approximately; injuries of this type are mostly multiple and combined, thus presenting significant challenges for health care. The reasons and circumstances of peacetime explosions were analyzed, with detailed description of the damaging factors, mechanisms and features of blast injuries. We describe the pathogenesis of blast injury, basic and clinical manifestations of lesions in the explosions.
