Abstract

Electrical injuries occur when high energy current travels through the body due to contact with an electrical source. Injuries can occur due to various methods; the flow of current through body, arc flash, clothing catches fire to name a few. In the former two, the body converts electricity into heat, which results in thermal burns. It is important to note that the external appearance of an electrical burn does not accurately predict the extent of the injury, as internal tissues and organs may be impacted severely than it appears from outside.
