Abstract
Our objective in this review is to describe the unique features of bombing injury and to outline some special elements of their management. This is to allow the timely improvement and adjustment of existing mass casualty protocols. Forensic studies, detonation and explosion, mechanisms of injury in explosion and their bodily effects, chemical effects of the explosive, site of the explosion and the wounding potential, the Multidimensional Injury Pattern, diagnostic evaluation of Multidimensional Injury Pattern, and surgical and treatment dilemmas associated with it are described and discussed.Keywords
