Nachi: Each year, in the US, approximately 10,000 patients present with electrical burns or shocks. Pay attention to the entry and exit sites, as the pathway of the shock is predictive of the potential for myocardial injury and arrhythmia. Their search yielded 477 articles, which was narrowed to 88 after initial review. That’s -- high.
