- Summary:
- Lecture presented by Rachel Lance, PhD (Assistant Consulting Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, Duke University) on February 10, 2022. This lecture was part of the Stark Neurosciences Research Institute Seminar Series and was co-sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society, IU School of Medicine History of Medicine Student Interest Group, IUPUI Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library. This talk examines the deaths of the crew members of the Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley as a case study of blast trauma injury patterns. The lungs are the most easily injured organs in a blast and often drive the overall risk level of the exposure. Dr. Lance discusses the developing topic of blast neurotrauma and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) that so frequently affects today’s veterans. The pulmonary and neurological risk of blast trauma to the crew of the Hunley formed a portion of Lance’s doctoral research on underwater blast trauma, and her experiments on the topic are described in her 2020 book: In the Waves: My Quest to Solve the Mystery of a Civil War Submarine.
