Approach to a patient with electric injuries

About this activity

This module outlines the systematic clinical approach to patients presenting with electrical injuries, covering the spectrum from low-voltage household exposure to high-voltage and lightning strikes. It addresses primary survey priorities, hidden injury patterns, cardiac monitoring, wound assessment, and multisystem complications including neurological, renal, and musculoskeletal involvement, with practical guidance for management in resource-limited settings.
