    Electrical shock during pregnancy is rare but requires medical attention. While specific signs of fetal damage are absent, complications like oligohydramnios or growth restriction may occur, necessitating close monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Electrical Injury Medicine
    • Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Electrical accidents during pregnancy are infrequent, with limited case reports available.
    • Understanding the impact of electrical injury on pregnancy outcomes is crucial for clinical management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present cases of electrical injury during pregnancy.
    • To analyze fetal and placental outcomes following maternal electrical accidents.
    • To identify potential clinical and pathological signs of fetoplacental damage.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series presentation of six pregnant women with electrical injuries.
    • Detailed examination of fetal movements, development, and pregnancy outcomes.
    • Post-delivery examination of placentas and cords.

    Main Results:

    • No specific clinical or pathological signs definitively indicate fetoplacental damage.
    • Immediate medical examination post-accident may reveal fetal demise.
    • Live fetuses may develop oligohydramnios or growth retardation later in pregnancy.

    Conclusions:

    • Close fetal monitoring is advisable when a fetus survives an electrical injury.
    • Pregnant women experiencing electrical shock, regardless of perceived severity, must seek immediate medical evaluation.
    • Early detection and management are key to improving outcomes in electrical injury during pregnancy.
