Local wound exploration is typically not done for gunshot wounds. Blunt abdominal trauma Most patients with multiple trauma and distracting injuries andor altered sensorium should have testing of the abdomen as should patients with findings on examination. The authors report on a gunshot wound of the foot with subsequent infection and nonunion. The pathophysiology of a gunshot wound is discussed with special emphasis on the temporary cavity and permanent cavity produced, and how this affects skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and bone. Penetrating abdominal trauma typically involves the violation of the abdominal cavity by a gunshot wound (GSW) or stab wound. The management of penetrating abdominal trauma has evolved greatly over the last century. A gunshot wound can be penetrating, perforating, or grazing. A penetrating gunshot wound is one in which the bullet remains in the body; a penetrating gunshot wound only has an entrance wound.

Penetrating traumas differ from blunt traumas, such as motor vehicle accidents, in that the skin is penetrated by the traumatic injury such as sharp objects and missiles. Herein, we present a penetrating parietal lobe injury due to stab Abstract A patient with an unusual combination of lesions secondary to gunshot wound of the heart is presented. The predominant abnormality was a large fistula between the right coronary artery and the floor of the right atrium. Where there is a stab or gunshot wound obviously involving the abdomen, the decision is simple, and the patient has a laparotomy. If there is a question about the abdomen being the source of the bleeding, Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage (DPL) or FAST scan is used. A GSW is caused by a missile propelled by combustion of powder.

Ischemic Pain: Lack of blood supply or ischemia of intraabdominal organ can cause severe pain as seen in ischemic bowel disease or embolism of mesenteric blood vessels.

Gunshot wound head trauma is the cause of an estimated 35 percent of all deaths attributed to TBI Gunshot wound head trauma is fatal about 90 percent of the time, with many victims dying before arriving at the hospital In a shot through the abdomen, the temporary cavity forces move a loop of small bowel only about 3. This 9cmdiameter cavity is also likely to be absorbed in muscle or lung tissue without any damage. In the liver, however, it could cause serious damage because of the tissue's inelasticity.

The most common forms of ballistic trauma stem from firearms used in armed conflicts, civilian sporting, recreational pursuits and criminal activity. b) sharp Trauma Stab wound or gunshot wound (low speed) will cause tissue damage due to laceration or cut. Gunshot wound at high speed will cause the transfer of kinetic energy greater the viscera organ, with additional effects such as temporary cavitation, and can be. In cases when the gunshot wound is in the abdomen (torso) area, and vital organs may be damaged, it is usually difficult to do anything for the person, without special medical attention. Yet, some commercial products like QuikClot and Celox could help in a way.
