Abstract: Soldiers returning home from Iraq are experiencing an increased number of head injuries related to blasts and explosions compared to soldiers of previous conflicts. These injuries are often undetected until the soldiers return home and have difficulty functioning as they did prior to the war. It is therefore important for occupational health nurses to understand blast injury, its pathophysiology, methods for detecting traumatic brain injury, and how these soldiers can be treated.
