Title: Mechanisms, Patterns, and Management of Bomb Blast Injuries

Bomb blast injuries are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in both military and civilian settings. Explosions produce complex, multi-modal trauma categorized into primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary effects. Blast waves primarily damage air-containing organs, with blast lung injury being a critical concern, while secondary blast wind causes injuries from flying debris. Effective management requires a structured triage system based on ATLS principles, with special consideration for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and long-term rehabilitation. 1. Introduction
