Injuries caused by a military explosive device to children

Abstract

1. The purpose of this work is to disclose the case of a child injury caused by a military explosive device. Seven minors aged 12 to 14 years received multiple injuries of varying degrees of severity from the explosion of military devices in living quarters. One child was in critical condition. She was a 14-year-old girl with a severe traumatic shock. The explosive injury indoors shows the high volume and traumatic injuries. In case of difficult trauma even a standard, properly applied hemostatic tourniquet may not be effective enough. Children who have severe traumatic shock, a greater positive hemodynamic effect from high-speed large-score infusion-transfusion therapy should be expected than infusion of sympathomimetics.
