Abstract
Emergency electrocution incidents present with various injuries, which can range from minor to severe injuries including death. Cardiac-related complications have a higher mortality incidence among patients with low-voltage injuries (M. R. Zemaitis et al., 2023). When managing electrical injury patients, the literature recommends managing them as both trauma and cardiac cases. However, the diagnostic approach is based on each individual case and patient presentation. Electrical injury complications include arrhythmias, myocardial tissue damage, and conduction disturbances (Pilecky et al., 2019). The purpose of this case study is to discuss a postelectrocution atrial fibrillation case and common related arrhythmias associated with electrical injuries.
