ELECTRICAL BURNS

Electrical burns occur due to high voltage industrial machinery and lightening. Much damage occurs at or close to the points of entry and exit.
Management:

  • Do not approach the casualty unless the current has been switched off.
  • Till the current switch-off, be at 20 yards (18 m) away from the casualty since the electrical 'ARC' in high voltage industrial cables can jump upto 18 meter and kill you.
  • Treat as per general burn.
  • Arrange urgent removal to a hospital as a stretcher case.
