Abstract: | Injuries and effects on the human body due to explosions in general, and in modern warfare in particular, have certain patterns which can be identified and classified depending on their causation, properties of the explosive material and device used, motive, and the target. Predetermined action plans together with disaster preparedness and response are important for proper and effective medico legal management of dead bodies and survivors after an explosion, and the key to success is a coordinated multidisciplinary and humanitarian approach. |
