Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the characteristics of patients assisted at the University Hospital of Maringá (HUM) with wounds from edged weapons (EWW) or firearms (FW), in regards to gender, age, wounded body areas, most affected body organs, length of hospitalization, complications and mortality rates. After the analysis of a worksheet elaborated for the study, it was observed that 68% of admissions had been for EWW and 32% for FW. The majority were men (90%) and young adults (20s and 30s, for FW and EWW, respectively). The most affected body areas were the abdomen and thorax, and the most wounded organs were, in order: the small intestine and liver for EWW, and the liver and small intestine for FW. The most common complication was hypovolemic shock. It was concluded that EWW had occurred in larger numbers than FW, with predominance in males in their 30s
