Abstract

Electrical injuries are a serious problem around the world. Patients with extensive, high-voltage electric burns belong to the group of severely burned. Timely and adequate treatment, which includes intensive anti-shock measures in the first days after injury, with simultaneous active surgical tactics, is decisive for saving life for such victims.
