16 de nov. de 2020 · This study examines a decade of data from the National Trauma Data Bank on civilian gunshot wounds to the head and identifies predictors of prolonged hospital length of stay and medical complications associated with gunshot wounds to the head. The data suggests regional trends in firearm type and outcomes.

30 de ene. de 2024 · Penetrating head trauma (PHT) refers to any injury that breaches the skull and protective barriers of the brain. Incidents such as gunshot wounds, stabbings, falls, or accidents involving sharp objects can cause this type of trauma. Patients with PHT require both medical and surgical management.

17 de nov. de 2019 · Gunshot wounds to the brain (GSWB) confer high lethality and uncertain recovery. It is unclear which patients benefit from aggressive resuscitation, and furthermore whether patients with GSWB undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) have potential for survival or organ donation.

Cerebrovascular injury (CVI) is a potentially devastating complication of gunshot wounds to the head (GSWH), with yet unclear incidence and prognostic implications. Few studies have also attempted to define CVI risk factors and their role in patient outcomes. We aimed to describe 10 years of CVI from GSWH and characterize these injury patterns.

Gunshot wounds to the head are fatal about 90% of the time, with many victims dying before arriving to the hospital. For victims who survive the initial trauma, about 50% die in the emergency room. About 50% of surviving patients will suffer from seizures and require anti-epilepsy medication
The predictors of poor brain function outcome or death after a gunshot wound to the head include the initial GCS score, older age, presence of low blood pressure or inadequate blood oxygen shortly after injury, and dilated non-reactive pupils.
Conclusions: Survivors of pediatric GSW to the head can experience multi-systemic complications during both initial hospitalization and afterwards, and bullet trajectory involving the parenchyma may be associated with specific complications more than others.
