The authors present the analysis of results of the complex anesthesiologic-reanimatological and surgical treatment of children (51) with gun-shot wounds. Twenty six children were wounded by home-made guns, nineteen children by an explosion of cartilages and shells and six patients--from the rifle and shot-guns. The wounds were penetrating in 29 children, not penetrating--in 22. Due to active surgical tactics and complex of anesthesiologic-reanimatological measures 49 out of 51 children were completely cured.
