The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1977
The course of three patients apparently struck by lightning is reviewed. The circumstances of the injury and the power of the lightning discharge are uncontrollable variables affecting morbidity and mortality. Immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation followed by careful clinical monitoring and aggressive treatment of involved organ systems will help ...

Southern Medical Journal, 2002
Lightning strikes may cause a constellation of injuries. Blunt head trauma, neurologic injury, and cardiac injury are common in these patients. In contrast to high-voltage electrocutions, blunt trauma after a lightning strike is common. Thorough evaluation of all organ systems is crucial.

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 ...

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America
Lightning is a common environmental hazard, and is a significant cause of global injury and death. Care and evaluation should follow general trauma guidelines, but several unique aspects of lightning injuries necessitate deviations from standard care that can improve survival and overall outcomes.

Telephone‐related lightning injury
Medical Journal of Australia, 1986The case of a man who was injured by a stroke of lightning while using the telephone is reported. The patient sustained paralysis, sensory symptoms, otological disturbance and pathognomonic dendriform cutaneous marks (Lichtenberg figures). The relevant literature is reviewed, and the epidemiology and preventive measures are discussed.

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
