account for 4.5% of all
traumatic injuries
12 % of fatalities related to trauma
Gunshot Wounds are the 5th leading cause of fatality in pediatrics

Important Information
Certain factors make a GSW more or less significant
1. Type of gun
2. Number of shots
3. Patient position
4. Distance from gun
(Chesney, 2004)
