Blast injuries from glass bottles containing dry ice.

We present three cases (two incidents) of severe blast injury from the explosion of covered glass bottles containing dry ice. The first patient sustained lacerations of the face, left eye, right wrist and forearm, and abdomen with protrusion of the small bowel. The second sustained a deep laceration to her anterior neck. The third sustained multiple lacerations to her lower extremities and one to the labia majora. All three patients were taken to the operating room for surgical exploration and repair and were discharged without complications.
