Question

Which are the most common types of injuries that should be identified along with treatment options in an organizational disaster plan for the use of explosive devices as agents of terrorism? select all that apply?

Answer 1

If the explosive decide contained a large amount of shrapnel, you could expect to see many different types of injuries. The most urgent type of injury is one in which there is a great amount of bleeding occurring. For example, you could see severed limbs, puncture wounds, and cuts. To treat these, one would initially need to stop the bleeding by wrapping the wound tightly and applying pressure. Additionally, placing coffee grounds directly on the wound can help coagulate the blood and reduce bleeding. The patients would need immediate transportation to a hospital where surgeons would evaluate if the patient needs a chest tube placed quickly or another treatment to stop blood flow through major arteries and veins.
