Gunshot trauma is an increasing global public health concern, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. In this review, we evaluated the most recent literature on best practices for emergency gunshot trauma care, emphasizing novel techniques to improve patient outcomes. We also looked at evidence-based recommendations for early assessment and triage, bleeding control, imaging, and surgical decision-making. Important discoveries include the role of damage control resuscitation, tranexamic acid, and whole blood resuscitation in improving outcomes. We also talked about developments in imaging, surgical procedures, and telemedicine, as well as psychological and ethical issues.
