Burn injury can be caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, light, radiation and friction [1]. Burn trauma continued to be a major cause of high mortality and morbidity in children in developing countries [2][3][4]. Electric current injuries are contributing significantly to overall trauma caused by burns [5]. These are potentially devastating form of multisystem injuries [6,7]. According to American Burns Association Report 2011, cases of electric burn injuries constituted 4.09% of all over burn trauma [8]. Approximately, 20% of total electric current burn injuries occur in children [9]. Most electrical injuries that occur in children are at home, with extension leads [10].Burn injuries due to electric current remain a complex surgical challenge. Although with advances in intensive care unit, especially burn care has improved its outcome but prevention is still the best way of minimizing the prevalence and severity of electric current burn injuries [11][12][13].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
