- Physicians
are increasingly involved in the medical care of
victims of gunshot wounds. Many of the victims survive
their injuries, and more are likely to do so as
advances in medicine continue. Clinicians
are replacing forensic pathologists as witnesses.
Emergency physicians are among the first
medical personnel to observe the wound characteristics
in their unaltered states and thus have a responsibility
to document these characteristics as accurately
and completely as possible. An understanding of
the fundamental differences in weapons and ammunition
types, as well as a basic understanding of ballistic
principles, will assist the clinician in accomplishing
this task

wounds:
Myths and reality. Critical Care

- Note:
Despite technological advances, ballistic literature
in the 20th century remains replete with errors,
misconcep-tions, half truths, and false representations.
In the majority of the literature, there has not
been a deliberate attempt to distort or misrepresent
the facts but rather a reliance on myth and misconception.
It is this author's goal to impart a sound, scientifically
supported overview of gunshot wounds and their mechanism
of injury. In doing so, critical care nurses can
care better for individuals suffering from gunshot
wounds and more effectively assist the criminal
justice system.
