abstract="Although information about terrorism has emphasized chemical, biologic, and radiation events, most terrorist attacks have involved explosive devices. To date, the number of lives lost, the number of people injured, and the consequences on the infrastructure are orders of magnitude higher after explosions than after chemical or biologic incidents. Nonconventional weapons have been perceived as more dangerous than explosives, probably because the effects of explosions are easier to comprehend. This review summarizes the mechanisms and describes the clinical consequences of blast injuries.",
