Activity Description

An abdominal gunshot wound is a multisystemic, traumatic injury that commonly causes high morbidity and mortality. Practitioners should recognize that emergent surgical evaluation is warranted when hemodynamic instability persists and evidence of peritonitis is present. This will lead to improved recognition of potential abnormalities which, in turn, will dictate treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes. This review highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the evaluation and treatment of this emergency situation.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Outline the clinical presentation of a patient with an abdominal gunshot wound.
  • Describe the evaluation in an abdominal gunshot wound.
  • Review the management in an abdominal gunshot wound.

This was the second of two CME activities I completed. I am not an osteopath so cannot comment on the quality of material from an osteopathic perspective, but nowhere did I see that StatPearls is appropriate only for DOs.
