| Resumen |
The occurrence of electrical accidents increased strongly along with the growth in domestic and industrial uses of electricity during the 20th century. The pathological effects of an electrical current passing through the body vary. Life-threatening incidents, extensive burns and trauma require dedicated and pluridisciplinary support. The coordination of first aid is a key step in this process. The meeting or otherwise of certain goals during the first few hours of hospitalization determine the success of future outcomes. Essential steps include ensuring haemodynamic stability and controlling hypovolaemia, acute myoglobinuric renal insufficiency and trauma extension, while initiating the local or surgical treatment. Prognosis is initially difficult, given that the extent of injury is often not visible. Sequelae can be serious and invalidating. |
