Eardrum Perforation in Explosion Survivors: Is It a Marker of Pulmonary Blast Injury?
TL;DR: Isolated eardrum perforation in survivors of explosions does not appear to be a marker of concealed pulmonary blast injury nor of a poor prognosis, Therefore, in a mass casualty event, persons who have sustained isolated eard Rum Perforation from explosions may safely be discharged from the emergency department after chest radiography and a brief observation period.
