ELECTRICAL BURN PATIENTS ACCORDING TO ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE IN SHAHID MOTAHARI BURN CENTER

Pages

  17-21

Abstract

 Background: Electrical injuries are rarely happened but it makes more harmful lesions comparing to other thermal injuries. The aim of this study was to report ELECTRICAL BURNed patients according to ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE in Shahid Motahari Burn Center.Methods: This Routine data base study was performed on patients with ELECTRICAL BURNs which were admitted to Shahid Motahari Burn Center from April 2010 to March 2012. Demographic and clinical data had gathered from medical records. Association between voltage and MORBIDITY or MORTALITY was evaluated used SPSS v. 16.Results: Mean total body surface area of 287 patients (283 (98.60%) male and 4 (1.4%) female) with mean age of 30±0.7 years was 13.56±0.76% (range 1-100). There were 203 patients (70.7%) with low and 84 patients (29.31%) with high voltage injury. There was significant association between voltage and place of injury (p=0.001).Conclusion: High voltage injuries constitute large number of electrical injuries which more of these injuries occurred outdoor and in workplace and need more hospitalization. High voltage injuries are related with more amputation, so people and authorities should pay more attention to such injuries.
