Abstract:
A hypothesis of the pathogenetic mechanism of the pulmonary changes after the injury is introduced. Basis are the results of the morphologic estimation of the lung traumas by blast with known energy in rabbits. The reason is the lung deformation by the sudden pressure increasing in the thoracic cavity and the volume reduction of the thorax. The deformed lungs were pressed against the thorax wall in the region of the smallest deformation.
