Abstract
Electric shock is the set of pathophysiological events resulting from the action of an electric current on the human
body. When the chest is situated along the path that connects the entrance and exit points, the heart is often affected.
The two major cardiac complications of electrical shock are arrhythmias and myocardial tissue injuries. Here we
discuss about a case of electric burns with the incident dating ten years back now having a non-healing scar over
the lower back region of trunk. Patient had an unprecedented cardiac event while taken up for wound debridement
under general anesthesia. Patient was managed accordingly and was stabilized afterwards.
