ABSTRACT
Cardiac arrhythmias following electrocution injuries can accompany high-voltage or high- intensity currents. Contributing factors to electrical hazard are the type of current, voltage, resistance, and duration of contact and pathway through the body. It is important to monitor for delayed arrhythmias in patients with an electrical injury. We describe a case of a 52-year-old man who presented after an electrical shock injury while grabbing a 5,000-voltage wire at work. In this case report, we discuss the presentation, management, and follow-up recommendations for this type of injury.
