Abstract

Electrical burns can be caused by low-voltage current (usually 220 or 360 V), high-voltage (more than 1000 V) current even by lightning. Electrical injuries and clinical manifestations can vary a lot and range from mild complaints not demanding serious medical help to life-threatening conditions. The primary cause of death in victims of lightning strike or other electrical trauma is cardiac or respiratory arrest. That is why appropriate urgent help is essential. Subsequently electrical burns, deep tissue and organ damage caused by electricity, secondary systemic disorders often demand intensive care and prompt, usually later multistage surgical treatment. In this case report, we discuss the management of electrical burn wounds in our centre.
