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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Abstract Electrical burns are always deep. Clothing may ignite, causing a thermal burn. Fasciotomy of severely burned muscle may release myoglobin into the circulation and produce renal fail¬ ure. IVFR to ensure supranormal urine output.

Annals of burns and fire disasters, 2011
A brief description is given of a case involving a man suffering from deep injuries due to the passage of electric current in both arms. Through this description we wish to demonstrate our strategy for the selection of the most appropriate surgical techniques, illustrating this with relevant photos.
