Lesões craniencefálicas por projétil de arma de fogo

Abstract: Foram estudados 417 casos de ferimentos craniencefálicos por projétil de arma de fogo ocorridos em população civil, com o objetivo de determinar os fatores que influenciam a mortalidade. Foram selecionados pacientes com ferimento único, que chegaram com vida ao hospital em um período de até seis horas após o trauma e que evoluíram para o óbito após a internação ou permaneceram internados por pelo menos 48 horas. A mortalidade global foi de 63,1% – 263 casos que foram analisados separadamente. Constatou-se que … Show more

“…Improved head models have been developed to evaluate several parameters of different types of lesions, such as localized brain motion, intracerebral acceleration and intracranial pressure. Real experiences were used to compare and validate the results provided by the models, showing satisfactory behaviors [10,[42][43]. Different parts of the head were tested for impacts on the frontal [13], temporal and parietal [44] regions, as were varying exposure times and load directions in the occipital region [45][46][47][48].…”

“…In Brazil, several studies have shown similar findings. For example, in Porto Alegre state, a total of 417 patients with skull-encephalic injuries produced by a single projectile showed a mortality rate of 63.1% [10]. In São Paulo state,2,714 homicides were reported for the second half of 2001, with most of these caused by firearms (88.6%), and most of the homicides (68.9%) were by head injuries [11].…”
