Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2000
Electrical burns can be divided into flash or typical thermal injury and high-tension injury. The latter is usually caused by greater than 1000 volts and produces a clinically characteristic entry and exit wound. The optimal management of patients with high-tension electrical injury has evolved into a plan of urgent exploration and debridement ...

MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRICAL BURNS
Archives of Surgery, 1954IN SPITE of the voluminous literature on thermal burns published during the last 10 years, surprisingly little has been recorded on electrical burns. It is accepted that the incidence of electrical burns is low, considering that we today live in a veritable maze of electric wiring.

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1986
Electrical injury is unlike other burns because of extensive local destruction of tissue at the points of entrance and exit. Artz likened it to a severe muscle crush injury, whereas Hunt showed that the deep-tissue loss is secondary to extremely high temperatures from resistance of the tissues (skin and bone) to the passage of electric current ...

Seminars in Neurology, 1995
Electric current can damage an individual by thermal heating of the tissues; by disregulating autonomously functioning organ systems, such as the circulatory and respiratory systems; or by once-only or continuing stimulation of the nerves and striated muscles.

Electrical Burns of the Mouth in Children
Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, 1984The acceptable state of the art for commissure electric burns of the mouth in children in the past was to advocate conservative treatment, allowing spontaneous healing to be followed by reconstructive procedures. These statements were made because of the difficulty of assessing the degree of initial injury, the loss of valuable normal tissue in early ...

Accident and Emergency Nursing, 1999
This article examines electrical burn injuries, how they occur and the nature of the injuries caused when people come into contact with electrical currents. The aetiology of tissue damage is discussed along with the pathophysiology of such encounters. The management of patients presenting with such injuries is explored including the vital role of the ...

Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1968
Electrical burns make up only 2% of all burn injuries in Denmark. In the course of about 6 years 31 patients with electrical hand burns have been admitted to the Burns Unit, Kommunehospitalet, Copenhagen. The causes are reviewed. Three of the injuries were caused by high-tension current (> 1000 volts), the remaining 28 by 220 or 380 v.

Deep electrical burns to the scalp
Burns, 1987Full skin thickness burns to the scalp involving bone damage are not uncommon. These are mainly caused by electricity, but there are some flame injuries. Investigation of the extent of bone damage by technetium bone scan and the use of CT head scan are recommended.

Treatment of electrical burns of the mouth
Burns, 1983A study is made of 58 cases of burns produced in the mouth by electricity in which the authors assess the possible advantages and disadvantages of three kinds of treatment: conservative, surgical after debridement and early of primary surgical. The different kinds of treatment are considered to be suitable, depending upon the type of lesion.
