Burns, 2008
Lightning is an uncommon but potentially devastating cause of injury in patients presenting to burn centers. These injuries feature unusual symptoms, high mortality, and significant long-term morbidity. This paper will review the epidemiology, physics, clinical presentation, management principles, and prevention of lightning injuries.

ELECTRICAL AND LIGHTNING INJURIES
Critical Care Clinics, 1999Electricity and lightning can cause injury in a variety of ways, some of which may remain hidden from the unsuspecting physician until it is too late. Prompt and, if necessary, prolonged resuscitation are of proven benefit. Particular attention must be paid to the patient who suffers high-voltage injury, and deep electrothermal burns on damage to vital

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1995
Abstract Lightning is one of nature’s powerful traumatic forces. Cloud-to-ground lightning flashes have peak currents of 20,000 to 40,000 amps at hundreds of millions of volts and can reach temperatures as high as 60,0000F. Researchers in the early twentyfirst century have provided evidence that lightning is associated with the intense ...

Electrical and Lightning Injuries
Journal of Burn Care & Research, 2007The aim of this study was to explore the mechanisms, complications, morbidity, and mortality associated with electrical injuries. Of 5053 acute burn admissions during a 5-year period, 202 patients (4%) had electrical burn injuries. Their mean age was 27.5 years (range, 3-71 years).

Electrical Injuries and Lightning
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1992Prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation is key to the resuscitation of lightning strike victims. Multiple accounts exist of successful revival of victims thought to be "dead" or in patients who have what is often believed to be unresuscitatable cardiac dysrhythmia.

Lightning and Electrical Injuries
Neurologic Clinics, 1992Lightning and electrical injuries are similar in that both produce immediate tissue injury from burn and trauma induced by fall and both can arrest the heart and respiratory center. Immediate support of circulation and respiration is life-saving. Subsequently the nervous system may show signs of injury, and seizures, cerebral edema, and muscle and ...
