“…The majority of the patients were young men at the beginning of their professional lives. This factor generates an important socio-economic impact due to the high incidence of sequelae, resulting in amputations, rendering them unable to maintain their occupations (35). A previous study identified three risk factors for death: age greater than 60 years, more than 40 percent of body-surface area burned, and inhalation injury (36).…”

“…Depending on voltage magnitude, injury may be sustained in nerve, bone, and tendon tissue, as well as that of the skin. [3,[6][7][8] The primary mechanism of tissue injury is the direct effect of the electric current. However, electrical injury can arise from both thermal and non-thermal mechanisms, and other injuries can accompany electrical burns.…”
