gunshot to the head depends...i wont treat a serious gunshot wound to the head,...waste shell dressings...and also depends on the situation that i am in.,..Originally posted by Meilin86:This is horrible after you brother's description. That's mean the medics cannot do anything if the injury is caused by gunshot on the head.
Would you hear the gunshot before you get headshot? I guess bullet travel faster than sound.
I feel that guns and rifles must be banned worldwide, such a small piece of metal can cause so much damage to the weak human bodies. Unbelievable!
I hate wars!!
It's hard to take you seriously with this sentence.Originally posted by Meilin86:I guess i was shocked I saw a person been shot in the head but yet able to talk in a movie. Not sure the title.
You sound damn pro sia.Originally posted by C-100:In Singapore, gunshot wounds are rare, not to mention in the head.
The survival rate will depend greatly on which part of the skull / head the bullet end up with.
Most prob this patient will be send to CT or MRI/MRA brain onces vitals are being stablize in the resus room.
If the bullet end up anywhere lodged in the skull (as it is very thick and vascular) at the most, there will be massive bleeding, but will be stopped with pressure bandage and sitches after the bullet is being removed.
If the bullet end up in any part of the brain, with no exit wound, then the Neuro surgeons may ask for further investigations, for the exact location of the bullets. Depending on the location of where the bullet is lodged, sometimes removal will cause more harm then good.
If bullet is being hit at the back of the head hitting C1/C2 or the thalamic, most prob will be death on the spot.
