  • Title: Management of high voltage electrical injury in children.
    Author: George EN, Schur K, Muller M, Mills S, Brown TL.
    Journal: Burns; 2005 Jun; 31(4):439-44. PubMed ID: 15896505.
    Abstract:
    High voltage electrical injuries in children are rare. They produce severe internal damage to limbs resulting in a high incidence of amputation. Early, aggressive serial debridement ensures adequate removal of dead tissue. Flap coverage to defects is necessary. Secondary surgery is common, and delayed sequelae such as tendon rupture should be expected.
