Question

"when treating a patient who experienced a pulmonary blast injury, you should"

Answer 1

The answer is avoid giving oxygen under positive pressure.

A blast injury is a complex type of physical trauma resulting from direct or indirect exposure to an explosion. Blast injuries occur with the detonation of high-order explosives as well as the deflagration of low order explosives. These injuries are compounded when the explosion occurs in a confined space.

Answer 2

Hi there!

I'm not too sure how to save the victim's life in a situation like this, but you SHOULD NOT give oxygen to a victim who has suffered from an explosion at close-range, while under positive pressure.
