Gunshot wound to the head.

On a medical chart this would be documented as...

pt c/o GSW to head (patient complains of gunshot wound to the head).

There would be other terminology to describe it. Where it entered or exited and what other trauma is present...but yeah...just...gunshot wound to the head.

What are the odds of surviving a gunshot to the head?

The odds of surviving a gunshot to the head vary significantly based on factors such as the bullet's trajectory, the location of the injury, the type of firearm used, and the immediacy and quality of medical care received. Generally, survival rates for such injuries are low, with estimates indicating that only about 10-15% of individuals survive gunshot wounds to the head, particularly if critical areas of the brain are affected. However, some survivors may experience severe long-term consequences or disabilities. Overall, timely medical intervention greatly influences outcomes.
