CDC Releases Blast Injury Mobile App

The CDC has a new Blast Injury mobile application to provide clear, concise, up-to-date information to help respond to a blast or other mass casualty explosive event. This application equips users with the critical decision-making information needed to provide medical care or manage mass casualties, all from a mobile device.

The app provides clinical guidance about specific blast injury patterns to help emergency responders and clinicians assess and treat patients. For public health and emergency management professionals, the application includes tools to manage casualties and hospital surge capacity.
