Electrical injuries may occur from high or low voltage contact. Low voltage injuries usually occur in the home, tetany may lead to sustained contact, and dangerous cardiac disturbances often result. High voltage injuries are usually work related and result from brief contact but may cause serious tissue destruction and secondary injuries.

Burns, 1989
From January 1979 to January 1987, 125 patients were treated in our Centre for various electrical injuries. Among them, 85 patients were over 15 years of age (89.4 per cent were males and 10.6 per cent females) and 40 patients were below 15 years of age (92.5 per cent were males and 7.5 per cent females).

Electrical injury is a relatively infrequent but potentially devastating form of multisystem injury with high morbidity and mortality. Most electrical injuries in adults occur in the work-place, whereas children are exposed primarily at home. In nature, electrical injury occurs due to lightning, which also carries the highest mortality. The severity of

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 ...

Emergency Nurse, 1999
Never underestimate the severity of the injury. History taking must be meticulous and thorough. Accurately assess percent of skin loss--fluid resuscitate as necessary. Monitor for the presence of cardiac arrhythmias. Observe for the development of compartment syndrome. Observe volume and colour of passed urine. Seek expert opinion.

Abstract With power in the extra-low frequency (ELF) 50– 60 Hz range, the generation, transmission, and distribution of energy in industrial and public systems support virtually every aspect of daily living. Electricity is pervasive in modern environments and can be simply defined as “any effect resulting from the existence of stationary
