9:05 am
detail. the we still have three in serious condition and the rest is in fairly good condition with one patient being discharged. we know the one patient in serious condition is congresswoman so at this point i'll turn it over to dr. molder, chief of neuro surgery here to give you more information. >> i'm michael molder from the university of arizona. i wanted to reiterate that our thoughts and prayers go out to the families. let me reiterate what a lot of people have said is the incredible effort here, it's a team effort at level one trauma center and that enables us this effort. everything from the e.r. positions, they were able to triage the patient and get them to the o.r. in 38 minutes then the fact that the person who operate next to me,
9:06 am
anesthesiologist and support staff. this kind of effort, this kind of outcome is possible because of his resources. so let me take you back to the sequence of events to clear up some of the information out there. congresswoman giffords was shot in the head. when she arrived here the reports were that she was, in fact, able to follow commands, responsive to verbal communication. we very quickly got her back to the o.r. within 38 minutes, once there, we went through our routine procedure for this kind of injury. that consisted of controlling the bleeding that thank goodness was not excessive. our next objective was to take the pressure off the brain. that was by removing the bone fragment that was caused by the bullet fracture as well as additional bones to allow the brain relax and we remove any
9:07 am
devitalized brain. at that point she returned to the icu. we'll tell you briefly that when we talk about gunshot wounds to the head, the things that are most concerning to us are if the bullet crosses from one hemisphere to the other. if the bullet crosses through the geometric center of the brain. i'm happy to say those were not case in this distance instance. because of that. she is able to communicate to us this morning to follow simple commands. we are still in critical condition, brain swelling at any time could take it for the worse but i am cautiously optimistic. dr. reid will talk about the critical care management that will be vital. >> you heard the latest on her condition. obviously brain damage not as
