DELAY IN RESTARTING RESPIRATION AFTER EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRIC SHOCK

Transient quadriparesis after electric shock.

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

Multimodal Imaging after Electric Shock Retinopathy

A 29‐year‐old male patient presented with decreased vision for 2 years following electrocution injury (electric cables with 25000 volts). No significant family or ocular history was elicited. He was diagnosed to have pigmentary retinopathy in both eyes clinically. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/12, N8 in the right eye and 6/18, N8 in the left eye. Anterior segment examination reveale...

Electric shock in patients administered to hospital: a descriptive study

US and CT of the Liver after Electric Shock.

Liver injuries caused by high voltage electricity are rare and result in high mortality and morbidity. They are produced by the resistance to the passage of electrical current through the tissue, which creates heat that leads to coagulation necrosis and rupture of the cell membrane. We present a case of an electrical injury to the liver, diagnosed by ultrasound and CT in a 39-year-old man who p...

Myocardial infarction after an electric shock: a rare complication.

Myocardial infarction is one potential outcome after an electric shock though it is seen relatively rarely. Nonetheless, an increased death rate because of cardiopulmonary arrest is of concern and merits careful scrutiny. Here, we report a man with myocardial infarction following electrical shock. Although he had frankly normal coronary arteries by coronary angiography, myocardial infarction wa...
