RESUMEN
Se presenta un análisis de un grupo de pacientes sobrevivientes a Traumatismo Encéfalo Craneano por arma de fuego, en un período de 11 años, atendidos en el Hospital Dr. Sótero del Río de Santiago de Chile. Se describen factores epidemiológicos y se analizan eventuales procedimientos clínicos que podrían explicar una mayor sobrevida observada en los últimos 4 años. Se discute además aportes de la literatura a fin de agregar elementos necesarios a considerar en la toma de decisión en el enfrentamiento a este tipo de patología que afortunadamente en tiempos de paz es bastante infrecuente.
ABSTRACT
We present a report of a group of patients that have survived to a Gunshot Traumatic Brain Injury, since 1998 till 2008 inclusive, that have been received at the Emergency Room of the Sotero del Rio Hospital. We describe epidemiologic factors and clinical procedures that may explain a better survival on the last four years. A brief review of the literature is done trying to find new elements on the decision making process. Fortunately this kind of injuries are less frecuent on peace time.
