Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Environmental Health
  • Military Medicine

Background:

  • Lightning strikes pose a risk to military operations in diverse weather conditions.
  • Effective medical management is crucial for the recovery and return to duty of lightning-injured personnel.

Observation:

  • 44 participants in a Ranger School training exercise were injured by a lightning strike.
  • Patients received field triage and transport to Eglin Air Force Base emergency department.
  • 20 patients were admitted, including one with cardiac arrest and others for observation of rhabdomyolysis, arrhythmias, and acute kidney injury.

Findings:

  • All 44 lightning-injured individuals were returned to duty the day following the incident.
  • Intensive care unit patients and those admitted for observation were released without restrictions.
  • No long-term adverse effects were reported immediately following the event.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of prompt triage, recognition, and coordinated care for lightning strike injuries.
  • Emphasizes the need for clear protocols to differentiate lightning injury from training-related symptoms.
  • Suggests reviewing and potentially modifying standard operating procedures to mitigate lightning risks during military training exercises.
