Frequency of Electrical Contact Burns and Evaluation of the Pattern of Injury
Dr. Sanjeev Suri

Introduction:Electric injuries are commonly classified based on their severity, such as high voltage and low voltage. Understanding the prognosis of wounds is crucial for making informed decisions to appropriately treat patients. Materials and Methods:An analysis was conducted on the demographic and pathophysiological features of patients with electric burn injuries in the urban region. This analysis was supported by the hospital stay duration and the therapy provided for the injuries. This is a study conducted in retrospect, therefore sample and ethical approval are not relevant. The inclusion criteria were those aged 18 years and older. Results:The current investigation revealed a clear seasonal pattern in the table above, with the biggest number of patients occurring between the months of June and September (49.2%). There was a somewhat smaller number of patients observed from December to March (21.1%). Conclusion:We suggest that preventive programs should aim to provide sufficient information, particularly during the school years. Local governments should provide personalized education to rural communities about electrical burn injuries. Simple measures, such as using local language and dialect for manufacturers' instructions and signboards, should be taken.
