Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aggressive ventilation can lead to excess pressure in the lungs, causing air to travel into the bloodstream and potentially form emboli that can block blood vessels and cause organ damage. Pericardial tamponade and hemorrhage are potential complications from blast injury, but not directly related to ventilation. Acidosis may also occur in blast patients, but is not unique to aggressive ventilation.
