Prediction of primary blast lung injury outcomes in goats using CT and injury factors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the feasibility of using CT combined with injury factors to predict the lethality and severity of primary blast lung injury through establishing a goat model simulating real explosion effects.

Methods

High explosives were detonated at two altitudes in natural fields, with goats positioned at distances of 2 to 6 meters from the explosion center, facing either the right side or the front chest. CT features and quantitative data post-injury were recorded, along with blood gas analysis in surviving goats and lung coefficient measurements. Correlation analysis between CT severity score and lung coefficient was performed. ROC curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the multi-factors in distinguishing severity (severe/serious vs. moderate/slight) and lethali
