| Resumen |
496 electrical accidents (183 of which were fatal) which occurred in the United Kingdom during the period 1962-1968 and were investigated by the Electrical Branch of the Factory Inspectorate are analysed as regards physiological response, mode of death, voltage, current pathway, electrical apparatus involved, resuscitation method used, and results of artificial respiration. In all electrical accidents, respiratory arrest is 3 times as frequent as cardiac involvement. However, when fatalities (electrocutions) only are considered, cardiac deaths are twice as frequent as deaths due to respiratory arrest. Mouth-to-mouth respiration compares very unfavourably with the older manual methods and should not be recommended. |
