However, there is little information published in literature about trauma mechanisms and prevalence of lesions in such scenario. This paper aims to study the epidemiological profile of female victims of violent trauma by analyzing prehospitalar assistance records. Study design:A retrospective descriptive study was carried out based on the data extracted from case records of the mobile urgency medical service (SAMU, acronym in Portuguese) in the city of Ilhéus, Bahia from January to December, 2014. From a universe of 1588 cases of trauma, we selected female victims (466) and, from them, those who were subjected to aggression trauma, resulting in a final sample of 49 individuals. It was analyzed age, time of assistance, day of the week of event, lesion mechanisms, main site of injury, need of fluid replacement therapy, Revised Trauma Scores (RTS) and pre-hospitalar death. Statistical analysis was performed using Epi Info 7.1.5 software. Results:The mean age of victims was 32.6 years. About 23.4% of events happened on Saturdays, 21.3% on Sundays, and 57.1% during the night. Nearly 49% of injuries were caused by beating. Approximately 61.3% of lesions were located on the head and neck and 48% of lesions were lacerations. Fluid therapy was used in 14.3% of times. Only a single living victim had RTS lower than 7.8408. The mortality rate verified was 4.1%. Conclusion:This study highlights the worrying reality of violence against women, an urgent issue that requires a response so that Brazilian and world society can achieve better conditions of life, security and equality.
