Electric Injuries
Injuries caused by electric currents. The concept excludes electric burns (BURNS, ELECTRIC), but includes accidental electrocution and electric shock.
Electric Organ
In about 250 species of electric fishes, modified muscle fibers forming disklike multinucleate plates arranged in stacks like batteries in series and embedded in a gelatinous matrix. A large torpedo ray may have half a million plates. Muscles in different parts of the body may be modified, i.e., the trunk and tail in the electric eel, the hyobranchial apparatus in the electric ray, and extrinsic eye muscles in the stargazers. Powerful electric organs emit pulses in brief bursts several times a second. They serve to stun prey and ward off predators. A large torpedo ray can produce of shock of more than 200 volts, capable of stunning a human. (Storer et al., General Zoology, 6th ed, p672)

Inappropriate shocks delivered by implantable cardiac defibrillators during oversensing of activity of diaphagmatic muscle. (1/128)

Two cases are reported (both men, one 72 and one 54 years old) of inappropriate shocks delivered by an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) device, which oversensed the myopotentials induced by deep breathing and Valsalva manoeuvre. No damage to leads was associated with the oversensing of myopotentials. The mechanism of the inappropriate shocks was determined using real time electrograms. Modification of the duration of ventricular detection and decrease in sensitivity made it possible to avoid the oversensing of myopotentials and to deliver ICD treatment.  (+info)

Transient quadriparesis after electric shock. (2/128)

A case of acute transient flaccid quadriparesis after a low voltage electric shock is reported. The patient recovered completely with in three days.  (+info)

Radiofrequency electrocution (196 MHz). (3/128)

Radiofrequency (RF) electrocutions are uncommon. A case of electrocution at 196 MHz is presented partly because there are no previous reports with frequencies as high as this, and partly to assist in safety standard setting. A 53-year-old technician received two brief exposures to both hands of 2A current at 196 MHz. He did not experience shock or burn. Progressively over the next days and months he developed joint pains in the hands, wrists and elbows, altered temperature and touch sensation and parasthesiae. Extensive investigation found no frank neurological abnormality, but there were changes in temperature perception in the palms and a difference in temperature between hands. His symptoms were partly alleviated with ultra-sound therapy, phenoxybenzamine and glyceryl trinitrate patches locally applied, but after several months he continues to have some symptoms. The biophysics and clinical aspects are discussed. It is postulated that there was mainly surface flow of current and the micro-vasculature was effected. Differences to 50 Hz electrocution are noted. Electrocution at 196 MHz, even in the absence of burns may cause long-term morbidity to which physicians should be alerted. Safety standards should consider protection from electrocution at these frequencies.  (+info)

Alpha(2)-antiplasmin gene deficiency in mice does not affect neointima formation after vascular injury. (4/128)

The hypothesis that alpha(2)-antiplasmin (alpha(2)-AP), the main physiological plasmin inhibitor, plays a role in neointima formation was tested with use of a vascular injury model in wild-type (alpha(2)-AP(+/+)) and alpha(2)-AP-deficient (alpha(2)-AP(-/-)) mice. The neointimal and medial areas were similar 1 to 3 weeks after electric injury of the femoral artery in alpha(2)-AP(+/+) and alpha(2)-AP(-/-) mice, resulting in comparable intima/media ratios (eg, 0.43+/-0.12 and 0.42+/-0.11 2 weeks after injury). Nuclear cell counts in cross-sectional areas of the intima of the injured region were also comparable in arteries from alpha(2)-AP(+/+) and alpha(2)-AP(-/-) mice (78+/-19 and 69+/-8). Fibrin deposition was not significantly different in arteries of both genotypes 1 day after injury, and no mural thrombosis was detected 1 week after injury. Fibrinolytic activity in femoral arterial sections, as monitored by fibrin zymography, was higher in alpha(2)-AP(-/-) mice 1 week after injury (P<0.001) but was comparable in both genotypes 2 and 3 weeks after injury. Staining for elastin did not reveal significant degradation of the internal elastica lamina in either genotype. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed a comparable distribution pattern of alpha-actin-positive smooth muscle cells in both genotypes. These findings indicate that the endogenous fibrinolytic system of alpha(2)-AP(+/+) mice is capable of preventing fibrin deposition after vascular injury and suggest that alpha(2)-AP does not play a major role in smooth muscle cell migration and neointima formation in vivo.  (+info)

Neuropsychiatric profile of a case of post traumatic stress disorder following an electric shock. (5/128)

Exposure to extraordinary stressors or life-threatening events has been shown to result in negative cognitive, behavioural and emotional outcomes including the cluster of symptoms constituting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This disorder has most often been studied in military veterans and victims of abuse who also show high rates of comorbid conditions. We report a case of PTSD following an electrical injury in a patient with no past psychiatric history. Implications for a full range of examinations including comprehensive neuropsychiatric testing are discussed. Results suggest that such approach addresses the complexity of a differential diagnosis between organic and psychiatric dysfunctions.  (+info)

Leakage of energy to the body surface during defibrillation shock by an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) system--experimental evaluation during defibrillation shocks through the right ventricular lead and the subcutaneous active-can in canines. (6/128)

The leakage of electrical current to the body surface during defibrillation shock delivery by an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device (the Medtronic Jewel Plus PCD system) was evaluated in 5 dogs. The defibrillation shocks were delivered between the active-can implanted in the left subclavicular region and the endocardial lead placed in the right ventricle at the energy levels of 1, 2, 8, 12, 24 and 34 J. During each delivery, the electrical current leakage from the body surface was measured by electrodes connected to a circuit at 4 recording positions: (A) parallel-subcutaneous (the electrodes were fixed in the subcutaneous tissue of the left shoulder and the right lower chest, and the direction of the electrode vector was parallel to the direction of the defibrillation energy flow); (B) cross-subcutaneous (the electrodes were fixed in the subcutaneous tissue of the right shoulder and the left lower chest, and the vector of the electrodes was roughly perpendicular to the direction of the energy flow); (C) parallel-surface (the electrodes were fixed with ECG paste on the shaved skin surface at the left shoulder and the right lower chest); and (D) surface grounded (the electrodes were fixed on the shaved skin surface at the left shoulder and the left foot, which was grounded). The circuit resistance was set at a variable level (100-5,000 ohms) in accordance with the resistance measured through each canine body. Leakage energies were measured in 750 defibrillation shocks with each circuit resistance in 5 dogs. The leakage energy increased in accordance with the increase of the delivered energy and the decrease of the circuit resistance in all 4 recording positions. When the circuit resistance was set at 1,000 ohms, the leakage energy during shock delivery at 34 J was 32+/-17 mJ at position A, 5+/-9 mJ at B, 10+/-9 mJ at C, and 4+/-3 mJ at D (p=0.042). The peak current was highest at position A and was 87+/-22 mA with a circuit resistance of 1,000 ohms. The power of the leakage energy depended on the delivered energy and the impedance between the electrodes. The angle between the alignment of the recording electrodes and the direction of the energy flow was another important factor in determining the leakage energy. Although the peak current of the leakage energy reached the level of macro shock, the highest leakage energy from the body surface was considerably less because of the short duration of the shock delivery.  (+info)

Inappropriate discharges from an intravenous implantable cardioverter defibrillator due to T-wave oversensing. (7/128)

This report describes the clinical management of 2 patients with ventricular fibrillation (VF) who received inappropriate shocks from an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) due to T-wave oversensing. Cardiac sarcoidosis was confirmed as the underlying heart disease in 1 patient and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in the other. Within 2 months after ICD implantation, both patients received several inappropriate shocks during sinus rhythm. Stored electrograms showed decreased R-wave amplitudes and increased T-wave amplitudes. The ICD sensed both R- and T-waves as ventricular activation, which met the rate criteria for VF treatment. Reprogramming the sensing threshold in association with administration of a drug to slow the heart rate decreased the incidence of the inappropriate shocks in both patients, but these palliative measures did not completely suppress the inappropriate shocks. To avoid T-wave oversensing, the repositioning or adding of a sensing lead is required. The potential risk of T-wave oversensing in ICD patients who have small R-wave amplitudes should be recognized.  (+info)

Correlation between serum IL-6 levels and death: usefulness in diagnosis of "traumatic shock"? (8/128)

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been considered as an important mediator of inflammation. Clinically it is a well-known marker of the severity of injury following major trauma. In this study, the levels of IL-6 in body serum were applied to a traumatic death index. Of ninety victims 55 were men and 35 women, with a mean age of 53.4+/- 19 (S.D.) years. The cases were classified as traumatic deaths (38 cases), non-traumatic deaths other than natural causes of deaths (36 cases), and deaths due to natural causes (16 cases). All samples were collected within 2 days after death. The mean values of IL-6 levels of the traumatic, non-traumatic and disease groups were 8608.97, 2205.65, and 3266.64 pg/ml, respectively. Some cases in non-traumatic and disease cases were beyond 10 000 pg/ml, however, the mean value of the traumatic group was statistically higher than that of the other two groups. Even though several cases had high levels of IL-6 in spite of instantaneous death, the results showed that IL-6 levels are helpful in the diagnosis of traumatic shock.  (+info)

Epidemiology of electrical injury: findings from a community based national survey in Bangladesh | Meta
The objective of this study is to explore the magnitude and pattern of electrical injury in Bangladesh. A national survey was conducted between January and December 2003 in Bangladesh. Nationally representative data were collected from 171,366 rural and urban households comprising a 819,429 population. The survey was conducted at a household level with a structured questionnaire. The incidence of fatal and non-fatal injury was found to be 1.6 and 73.7 per 100,000 population year respectively. Compared to females, males were found at a higher risk (RR 1.62; 95% CI 1.37-1.91) and rural people found more vulnerable compared to urban people (RR 5.97; 95% CI 4.71-7.57). The home was found as the most common place for electrical injury, with more than 50% of injury taking place at home. The household source of electricity was found as the most common source of electrical injury. Lightning was also found as major source for electrical injury which constituted more than 25% of the injuries cause by ...

Comparison of the Results of Early Flap Coverage with Late Flap Coverage in High-Voltage Electrical Injury. - Semantic ScholarComparison of the Results of Early Flap Coverage with Late Flap Coverage in High-Voltage Electrical Injury. - Semantic Scholar
Patients with high-voltage electrical injuries had very high rates of infection, morbidity, and limb amputation. The results of early and late flap coverage in these patients were prospectively compared. The patients were divided into two groups, early flap group (≤3 weeks) and late flap group (|3 weeks), according to the length of time from injury to wound coverage with flap. Age, sex, demographic data, time taken for flap coverage, time taken for pedicle division, time taken to discharge, wound infection, range of motion in joints, amputation, mortality, and outcome were gathered in a special questionnaire. This study included 55 patients, 31 within the early flap group and 24 within the late flap group. Of the 55 patients, 94.6% were male; mean (SD) of age was 29.04 (10.11) and of TBSA was 13.8 (10.07). Length of stay was significantly longer in the late flap group. The rates of infection and amputation were lower in the early flap group. There was no correlation between the type and the number of

Electrical Injury and TreatmentElectrical Injury and Treatment
Electrical injuries most often occur in industrial accidents and, occasionally, with children who curiously play with electrical outlets or cords (chew on electrical cord). About 93% of electrical injury victims are males. The groups highest at risk are electrical and construction workers most commonly injured by generated electricity. Golfers who stay outdoors in summer during lightning storms, comprise a significantly large group susceptible to lightning strikes.There are two types of electric currents: DIRECT (DC) and ALTERNATING (AC). Injuries which result from direct current occur mainly in industrial environments. The majority of homes are supplied with alternating current. The flow of electricity is from the point of contact to the ground. The injury is dependent on the distance and the resistance of the tissue involved. Alternating current is usually much more disruptive to tissue. Direct current produces a smaller entrance wound with a much larger exit.. The greatest threat to life from ...

Treating Children with Electrical InjuriesTreating Children with Electrical Injuries
Originally from south Florida, John Creagh is no stranger to random electrical storms and, after a stint in the ED at the University of Miami School of Medicine, the injuries they incur. So when asked to present at Grand Rounds at the Johns Hopkins Childrens Center in Baltimore, where he is a pediatric resident, it was only natural for him to choose the acute care and management of electrical injuries as his topic.. Electrical injuries dont happen that frequently up here so I thought it would be good to look at the literature and figure out what pediatricians need to look for and how they should treat patients, says Creagh..

Fatal occupational electrocutions in the United States | Injury PreventionFatal occupational electrocutions in the United States | Injury Prevention
Occupational electrocution deaths occurred almost entirely among males. The highest rates were found among those aged 20-34 and among white and American Indian workers, followed by black workers. The proportions of occupational electrocution deaths were highest in the summer months, in the South, and in establishments employing 10 or fewer workers. The highest rates by industry were in construction, mining, and agriculture, forestry, and fishing. The highest occupation specific rates were among trades associated with these industries.. The present study found nearly 99% of electrocution deaths to have occurred among males, similar to the findings of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).3 This is likely in part due to the prevalence of males in trades with greater exposure to electrical sources. This study showed the highest rates of death among those aged 20-34; whereas, the highest occupational injury death rates overall in the United States occurred among those ...

Electrical injury - WikipediaElectrical injury - Wikipedia
Electrical injury is a physiological reaction caused by electric current passing through the (human) body. Electric shock occurs upon contact of a (human) body part with any source of electricity that causes a sufficient magnitude of current to pass through the victims flesh, viscera or hair. Physical contact with energized wiring or devices is the most common cause of an electric shock. In cases of exposure to high voltages, such as on a power transmission tower, physical contact with energized wiring or objects may not be necessary to cause electric shock, as the voltage may be sufficient to jump the air gap between the electrical device and the victim. The injury related to electric shock depends on the magnitude of the current. Very small currents may be imperceptible or produce a light tingling sensation. A shock caused by low current that would normally be harmless could startle an individual and cause injury due to suddenly jerking away from the source of electricity, resulting in one ...

Work-Related Electrocution InjuriesWork-Related Electrocution Injuries
Defective wiring at the workplace is the most common cause of burns and electrocution. Some classes of workers such as utility workers, electricians, and construction workers are at the highest risk of electrocution. If an employer fails to implement safety programs and follow OSHA regulations, construction managers, property owners, and contractors may be held liable for negligence.. If a work-related electrical injury or electrocution is caused by a defective product such as a tool or electrical appliance, then a third-party personal injury claim may be filed in addition to a workers compensation claim. There are several hazards that increase the chances of electrocutions at the workplace. These include:. ...

The correct answer is C. Lorraine Lau and Anton Helman covered Electrical Injuries on EM cases this week.. Fortunately, cardiac complications from electrical injury are relatively uncommon with an overall incidence of 4-17%. Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia. Other ECG findings are bundle branch blocks, AV-blocks, QT prolongation, ST-changes, ventricular fibrillation and asystole. The fatal arrhythmias normally appear directly after the electrical trauma, with a VF more common after a trauma with alternating current and an asystole more common after injury with direct current. Cardiac monitoring is required in the first few hours for all high voltage (,1000V) injured patients, and for low voltage injured patients with symptoms (chest pain or syncope). Troponines are only indicated in patients with clinical presentation of cardiac ischemia and should not be obtained routinely.. ...

Perspectives in Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Irrigation-Pipe-Associated Electrocution Deaths -- WashingtonPerspectives in Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Irrigation-Pipe-Associated Electrocution Deaths -- Washington
In Washington State, investigators recently reviewed death certificates of all persons killed by electrocution during 1970-1979 and of all farmers killed by electrocution during 1950-1979. Analysis showed that farmers are significantly more likely than non-farmers to die of accidental electrocution (1). An electrocution was considered irrigation-pipe-associated (IPA) when the death certificate or a newspaper article provided sufficient information to conclude that the death was irrigation pipe associated or when the death certificate suggested IPA electrocution. A death was considered occupationally related when the death certificate specified the injury occurred at work. During Washingtons agricultural growing season, 30- and 40-foot lengths of 3-inch aluminum pipe are used to irrigate fields. Electrocutions occur when these pipes touch electrical lines at the periphery of the fields while being hand carried by workers. In accordance with the recommendation of the National Electrical Safety ...

Although we all have slightly different stories as to how these symptoms just showed up one day, my acupuncturist now had a really good analogy that made a lot of sense to me. He said our bodies are constantly adapting to the stress, toxins, and abuse we subject them to day in and day out.
