High-voltage electrical injuries in children are rare but severe, often resulting from accidents due to recklessness or inadequate safety measures. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing complications and improving outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Emergency Medicine
  • Electrical Injury Pathophysiology
  • Trauma Surgery

Context:

  • High-voltage electrical burn injuries are uncommon pediatric emergencies with significant morbidity and mortality.
  • Accidents stem from recklessness, insufficient knowledge of electrical currents, and unsafe public electrical infrastructure.
  • Immediate cardiac and renal complications, plus fall-related trauma, contribute to mortality.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the critical nature of high-voltage electrical injuries in children.
  • To discuss the contributing factors, complications, and management strategies for pediatric electrocution.
  • To present three case studies illustrating diverse severe outcomes.

Summary:

  • The abstract details three pediatric cases of high-voltage electrocution, involving severe outcomes like head injury, myocardial damage, and compartment syndrome.

  • Management focuses on early resuscitation and surgical intervention for tissue damage to prevent infection and functional sequelae.
  • The cases underscore the poor prognosis associated with these injuries and the need for literature review.

    • Impact:

    • Emphasizes the need for enhanced safety measures and public awareness regarding electrical hazards for children.
    • Informs pediatric emergency care protocols for high-voltage electrical injuries.
    • Highlights the long-term functional sequelae and infection risks requiring vigilant follow-up.
