Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • High-tension electrical injuries pose significant risks, with high morbidity and mortality rates.
  • Carbon fiber and graphite, used in fishing rod manufacturing, possess superconductor qualities.
  • Fishing rods with high carbon content (>70%) exhibit very low electrical resistance (0.9-10.5 kΩ).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the unique electrical properties of carbon-rich fishing rods.
  • To report on cases of high-tension electrical injuries associated with these fishing rods.
  • To provide insights into the management and prevention of such severe injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Case series reporting of nine patients with high-tension electrical injuries.

  • Analysis of fishing rod material composition and electrical resistance.
  • Review of injury management protocols and preventative measures.

    • Main Results:

    • Carbon fiber fishing rods demonstrate superconductor properties due to high carbon content.
    • Nine cases of severe electrical injuries were successfully managed.
    • Low electrical resistance in these rods facilitates dangerous electrical current flow.

    Conclusions:

    • Carbon fiber fishing rods present a unique hazard for high-tension electrical injuries.
    • Effective management and prevention strategies are crucial for mitigating risks associated with these injuries.
    • Awareness of material properties is key to preventing electrical accidents in recreational activities.
