Abstract

Prolonged and succesful resuscitation of a patient after electrical injury Electrical injuries are frequently caused by misuse of hand tools at home or by contact with high voltage current. Cardiac arrest after electrical shock usually results from the ventricular fibrillation caused by the low voltage energy. Standard cardiac resuscitation must be done as soon as possible in such cases. We emphasize that an early and prolonged resuscitation can be life saving for victim of cardiac arrest after electical injury. Ten months after discharge, our patient has normal daily activities without restrictions;and neurologically continues to have amnesia for the accident and the two months prior to the accident.

Özet

Elektrik çarpmaları en çok ev aletlerinin hatalı kullanımı veya yüksek voltajla temas sonucu olmaktadır. Elektrik çarpmaları sonucu gelişen arrest genellikle düşük voltajın doğruudan yol açtığı ventriküler jibrilasyona bağlıdır. Bu durumda standart kardiyak resusitasyon mümkün olduğu kadar erken başlamalıdır. Yazımızda da elektrik çarpması sonucu gelişen kardiyak arrestte başlanan erken ve ısrarlı kardiyak resusitasyonun hayat kurtarabileceğini gösterdik. Hastamız taburcu olduktan üç ay sonraki takibinde, olayı ve öncesini içeren iki aylık 'lakünar amnezi dışında hiçbir patolojik bulgusu olmadan yaşamını sürdürmektedir.
