Blast Injuries & Mass Casualties

Since I loaded you with posts yesterday (and according to my stats page A LOT of you are working your way through the cervical images today–wow, people), a nice bite-sized podcast to have with your morning latte.

You can check out the dedicated page for mass casualties, which has resources on everything from caring for pediatric and elderly blast victims to managing your own stress after the fact. There’s also an explosions and blast injuries clinical primer and a one- or three-hour training, Bombings: Injury Patterns and Care.
