An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A transmediastinal gunshot wound (TMGSW) is a penetrating injury to a person's thorax in which a bullet enters the mediastinum, possibly damaging some of the major structures in this area. Hemodynamic instability has been reported in approximately fifty percent of cases with a mortality rate ranging from twenty to forty percent. Some studies have shown marked improvement in the mortality rate of patients who survived transfer to the operating room rather than being treated surgically in the ER.

dbo:abstract
  • Una herida de bala transmediastinal es un traumatismo penetrante en el tórax de una persona en el que la bala entra en el mediastino, posiblemente dañando algunas de las principales estructuras en esta área. La inestabilidad hemodinámica se ha informado en aproximadamente el cincuenta por ciento de los casos con una tasa de mortalidad que varía de veinte a cuarenta por ciento. Algunos estudios han demostrado una marcada mejoría en la tasa de mortalidad de los pacientes que sobrevivieron a la transferencia a la sala de operaciones en lugar de ser tratados quirúrgicamente en la sala de emergencia.
