Explosion injury is often seen in the explosion of war, high-pressure boiler, liquefied gas tank or chemical storage tank, etc. It has the characteristics of sudden, batch, complex and changeable injury. Chest injury is one of the most common injuries caused by explosion, especially severe and concealed lung injury, which shows light external but heavy internal, and the injury develops rapidly.
