ABSTRACT
In the United States the number of firearm-related deaths in 1989 was almost equal to the number of motor vehicle-related deaths. Trauma nurses could not imagine themselves caring for motor vehicle crash victims without any understanding of speed, vehicle damage, or collision angles. Gunshot wounds are becoming nearly as frequent as motor vehicle crashes, but the mechanism of injury for a gunshot wound is not as widely understood. This article explains the basics of wound ballistics, emergent care of the gunshot wound victim, and medicolegal concerns for the trauma nurse.
