http://www.whitehouse.gov/
President Barack Obama said he ordered the "full
resources" of the federal government to respond
to the Boston bombings on Monday, and that he
also called for increased security around the
United States as necessary.The Navy has sent one of its bomb-disposal units to
Boston to assist local authorities as needed. The
three-member explosive ordnance disposal team
based at Naval Station Newport, R.I., was sent to
Massachusetts after state officials asked for help.
TYPE OF INJURIES LIKELY TO BE SEEN
PRIMARY BLAST INJURIES
• Most post-explosion injuries involve blunt and
penetrating trauma
• The initial blast may cause abdominal bleeding
and perforation, concussion (possibly without
physical signs of injury to the head), and
rupture of the eardrum
• Blast lung is the most common fatal injury
among initial survivors
‒ The blast wave may cause tearing,
bleeding, and buildup of fluid in the lungs
‒ Symptoms include shortness of breath,
chest pain, and coughing up blood
‒ Patients may also show signs of slowed
breathing, cyanosis, and wheezing
SECONDARY BLAST INJURIES
• Flying debris and bomb fragments may cause
penetrating trauma, fracture, or amputation
OTHER POSSIBLE INJURIES
• Burns, crush injuries, and severe
lacerations may be seen in victims
• Blast may result in impaired vision and
hearing
• Exacerbation of chronic illness is possible

SURGE CAPACITY IN A TERRORIST BOMBING
• Explosive devices are the most common weapons used by terrorists.
• Explosions can produce instantaneous havoc, resulting in numerous
casualties with complex, technically challenging injuries not commonly
seen after natural disasters.
• Because many patients self-evacuate after a terrorist attack and
prehospital care may be difficult to coordinate, hospitals near the scene
can expect to receive a large influx, or surge, of victims after a terrorist
strike.
• Health care and public health specialists should anticipate profound
challenges in adequately caring for the surge of victims following a
terrorist bombing.
• CDC with a panel of experts produced “In a Moment’s Notice: Surge
Capacity in Terrorist Bombings.” . It includes a description of system-
wide and discipline-specific challenges as well as recommendations to
address these issues.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:
• Blast Injury Fact Sheets
• “Bombings: Injury Patterns and Care” poster and pocket card
• “Interim Planning Guidance for Preparedness to Mass Casualty Events Resulting from Terrorist Use of Explosives” report
• Blast Injuries: What You Need to Know Webcast
• Blast Injuries: What Clinicians Need to Know (Podcast)
• The Terrorism Injuries Information, Dissemination and Exchange (TIIDE) Project
COMMON REACTIONS TO A STRESSFUL EVENT INCLUDE:
• Physical or emotional tension are often signs of stress. They can be
reactions to a situation that causes you to feel threatened or anxious.
Stress can be positive (such as planning your wedding) or negative (such
as dealing with the effects of a natural disaster).
• Disbelief and shock
• Tension and irritability
• Fear and anxiety about the future
• Difficulty making decisions
• Being numb to one’s feelings
• Loss of interest in normal activities
• Loss of appetite
• Nightmares and recurring thoughts about the event
• Anger
• Increased use of alcohol and drugs
• Sadness and other symptoms of depression
• Feeling powerless
• Crying
• Sleep problems
• Headaches, back pains, and stomach problems
• Trouble concentrating
THE BEST WAYS TO MANAGE STRESS IN HARD TIMES ARE THROUGH
SELF-CARE:
• Avoid drugs and alcohol. They may seem to be a temporary fix to feel
better, but in the long run they can create more problems and add to your
stress—instead of take it away.
• Find support. Seek help from a partner, family member, friend, counselor,
doctor, or clergyperson. Having a sympathetic, listening ear and sharing
about your problems and stress really can lighten the burden.
• Connect socially. After a stressful event, it is easy isolate yourself. Make sure
that you are spending time with loved ones. Consider planning fun activities
with your partner, children, or friends.
• Take care of yourself.
‒ Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet
‒ Exercise regularly
‒ Get plenty of sleep
‒ Give yourself a break if you feel stressed out—for example, treat
yourself to a therapeutic massage
‒ Maintain a normal routine
• Stay active. You can take your mind off your problems by giving— helping a
neighbor, volunteering in the community, even taking the dog on a long
walk. These can be positive ways to channel your feelings.The Disaster Distress Helpline 1-800-985-5990 provides immediate
crisis counseling to people affected by the tragedy in Boston. The
helpline can also be accessed at

CDC – Coping with stress
Stress is a condition that is often characterized by symptoms of physical or emotional tension. It is a
reaction to a situation where a person feels threatened or anxious. Stress can be positive (e.g., preparing
for a wedding) or negative (e.g., dealing with a natural disaster).

  • 6.

  • 8. SURGE CAPACITY IN A TERRORIST BOMBING • Explosive devices are the most common weapons used by terrorists. • Explosions can produce instantaneous havoc, resulting in numerous casualties with complex, technically challenging injuries not commonly seen after natural disasters. • Because many patients self-evacuate after a terrorist attack and prehospital care may be difficult to coordinate, hospitals near the scene can expect to receive a large influx, or surge, of victims after a terrorist strike. • Health care and public health specialists should anticipate profound challenges in adequately caring for the surge of victims following a terrorist bombing. • CDC with a panel of experts produced “In a Moment’s Notice: Surge Capacity in Terrorist Bombings.” . It includes a description of system- wide and discipline-specific challenges as well as recommendations to address these issues.

  • 9. COMMON REACTIONS TO A STRESSFUL EVENT INCLUDE: • Physical or emotional tension are often signs of stress. They can be reactions to a situation that causes you to feel threatened or anxious. Stress can be positive (such as planning your wedding) or negative (such as dealing with the effects of a natural disaster). • Disbelief and shock • Tension and irritability • Fear and anxiety about the future • Difficulty making decisions • Being numb to one’s feelings • Loss of interest in normal activities • Loss of appetite • Nightmares and recurring thoughts about the event • Anger • Increased use of alcohol and drugs • Sadness and other symptoms of depression • Feeling powerless • Crying • Sleep problems • Headaches, back pains, and stomach problems • Trouble concentrating THE BEST WAYS TO MANAGE STRESS IN HARD TIMES ARE THROUGH SELF-CARE: • Avoid drugs and alcohol. They may seem to be a temporary fix to feel better, but in the long run they can create more problems and add to your stress—instead of take it away. • Find support. Seek help from a partner, family member, friend, counselor, doctor, or clergyperson. Having a sympathetic, listening ear and sharing about your problems and stress really can lighten the burden. • Connect socially. After a stressful event, it is easy isolate yourself. Make sure that you are spending time with loved ones. Consider planning fun activities with your partner, children, or friends. • Take care of yourself. ‒ Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet ‒ Exercise regularly ‒ Get plenty of sleep ‒ Give yourself a break if you feel stressed out—for example, treat yourself to a therapeutic massage ‒ Maintain a normal routine • Stay active. You can take your mind off your problems by giving— helping a neighbor, volunteering in the community, even taking the dog on a long walk. These can be positive ways to channel your feelings.The Disaster Distress Helpline 1-800-985-5990 provides immediate crisis counseling to people affected by the tragedy in Boston.
