--- The accidental traumatism is a leading case f health problems in our society, due to the high indices of violence in which it is developed. The international statistics show us, that the head trauma, constitutes the first cause of death or physical disability in children and adults, usually in their more productive stage. The head trauma constitutes the diagnosis of 18% of patients in the emergency department. The emergency of the Hospital Nacional Daniel A. Carrión, is receiving a number every greater time of patients-adult and young-with head trauma. The objective of the present work is a) Examine some epidemiological aspects related to the head trauma, b) Evaluate the management of patient with head trauma c) Suggest strategies of management of head trauma in the emergency department. It was made a review of histories and/or cards of emergency, from surgery room during the months of June to November 2002, in search of patients with diagnostic of head trauma. The data was collected according the propose survey. Then a manual count was made. The information was evaluated in relation to the variables considered more relevant in relation to the objectives. There were obtained 704 patients with head trauma diagnosis; 72% were men, and 28% women; the 72,3% of the cases had of 15 to 60 years old; the most frequent signs to the admission were headache (22.8%), diminished of sensory (19.5%), amnesia (15.8%); between the more frequent associate injuries they were: injuries in head (67%), injuries in members (5.5%), thorax (5.5%). The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was evaluated in 409 patients, the 54,3% presented a GCS from 13 to 15; the 7,4% from 9 to 12 and the 5,0% from 3 to 8; whereas 235 patients were not considered the GCS; all patients with severe head trauma had an order of head CT scan; from the 187 indicated head CT scan, the 49,7% was informed like abnormal. There were 46 indications of urgent neurosurgery in this period, and two cases died in emergency, before surgery. Brain trauma is responsible of 17.2 % of the total attentions in the emergency surgery room of the Hospital Nacional Daniel A. Carrión, during the period of June to November of the 2002. The valuation of the Glasgow Coma Scale to the admission defines the following management, in relation to its variation.
