Alterations in arterial function after high-voltage electrical injury
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional changes of the arterial endothelium and smooth muscle after a high-voltage electrical injury (HVEI), using flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and nitrate-mediated dilation (NMD). METHODS Twenty-five male patients injured in the upper extremities by current due to contact with more than 20,000 volts were enrolled in the study. FMD and...
متن کاملHigh-Voltage Electrical Shock Without Injury
A 39-year-old male suffered a minute long shock from a 7200-V power line with no sequelae other than mild quadriceps muscle strain. He had parked a truck next to a highway and was standing on asphalt. He reached into the truck and manipulated a plastic-topped hydraulic lift lever. Suddenly, he could not move or feel. He soon felt a shock and was thrown back. Physical examination was normal exce...
متن کاملDiagnosis of long-term sequelae after low-voltage electrical injury.
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of diagnostic tests and specialty consultations in aiding the diagnosis of long-term symptoms after low-voltage electrical injury (EI). A retrospective hospital chart review of low-voltage electrical-injured patients admitted to the outpatient burn clinic of a rehabilitation hospital was conducted (January 2002 to March 2006). Results of t...
متن کاملReturn to work after low voltage electrical injury.
Low voltage electrical injury is associated with minor or no cutaneous burns and its symptoms rarely appear on initial examination. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability to return to work among patients with low voltage electrical injury. A retrospective hospital chart review was conducted among patients with low voltage electrical injury admitted to the outpatient burn clinic ...
متن کاملCerebral corticospinal tract injury resulting from high-voltage electrical shock.
Electrical injuries are becoming more common and are increasingly imaged with advanced technologies, such as MR imaging. However, the MR imaging findings of such injuries remain largely unstudied. We report a high-voltage electrical injury to the cerebral corticospinal tracts and document evolution on serial MR images.
