Blast injuries are prevalent. While the current conflict in Afghanistan is reaching its final stages, the legacy of landmines will sadly ensure that injuries and fatalities will continue to occur. The understanding of these injuries and the science behind their mitigation and treatment is a multi-disciplinary effort. Current knowledge has rapidly grown due to recent conflicts, yet the learning has not yet been captured in any formal way.
Peter Mahoney is a consultant in anaesthesia and resuscitation with the Defence Medical Services. He has worked in resource-limited areas with NGOs and has co-edited 3 text books.
