Orgill D. N Engl J Med 2009;360:893- 901 17 Disability (from other injuries) Primary & secondary surveys are important!!!
R/O non-thermal trauma ~5% have concomitant non-thermal injury
Management of non-thermal trauma typically supercedes burn management, except for the resuscitation. Everything else
Vascular access: PIV is preferable Analgesia = IV opiates Conservative & judicious sedatives, prn only Woods lamp eye exam for flash burns to face Escharotomies Early enteral nutrition ( 20% TBSA) Escharotomies Indications Circumferential FT extremity burns with threatened distal tissue Diminished or absent distal pulses via doppler Any S/S of compartment syndrome.
Circumferential FT thoracic burn (Breathing disturbance) Elevated PIP or P plateau
Worsening oxygenation or ventilation Escharotomy ELECTRICAL INJURY Zeus, the ruler of the ancient Greek gods, was characteristically depicted holding thunderbolts,which he used as warning or punishment against those who disobeyed him. The first electrical fatality recorded in France in 1879 24 Shock Severity Severity of the shock depends on: Path of current through the body Amount of current flowing through the body (amps) Duration of the shocking current through the body,
LOW VOLTAGE DOES NOT MEAN LOW HAZARD PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRICITY Electricity is the flow of electrons (the negatively charged outer particles of an atom) through a conductor.
when the electrons flow away from this object through a conductor, they create an electric current, which is measured in Amperes (I).
The force that causes the electrons to flow is the voltage, and it is measured in Volts (V).
Anything that impedes the flow of electrons through a conductor creates resistance, which is measured in Ohms (R).
Electrical Injuries Factors Determining Severity
1. V = voltage 2. i = current 3. R = resistance OHMS LAW: i = V / R Electrical Injuries Factors Determining Severity
Mucous membranes Vascular areas volar arm, inner thigh Wet skin Sweat Bathtub Other skin Sole of foot Heavily calloused palm Skin Resistivity - Ohms/cm 2
Most Tendon Fat Bone Power lines range from: Low: < 600 volts Ultrahigh: > 1 million volts
Most homes in US & Canada have a 120/240 V other countries (Europe, Asia..): 220 V Immediate death may occur from:
1) Current-induced ventricular fibrillation
2) Asystole
3) Respiratory arrest secondary to: Paralysis of the central respiratory control system Paralysis of the respiratory muscles
Electrical current exists in 2 forms:
1) AC: (Alternating Current): when electrons flow back and forth through a conductor in a cyclic fashion
It is used in household and offices and is standardized to a frequency of 60 cycles/sec (60 Hz) 2) DC: (Direct Current): when electrons flow only in one direction
Used in certain medical equipment: defibrillators, pacemakers, electrical scalpels
AC is far more efficient and also more dangerous than DC (~ 3 times): tetanic muscle contractions that prolong the contact of victim with source Cutaneous I njuries & Burns Extensive flash and flame burns
Hemodynamic, autonomic, cardiopulmonary, renal, metabolic and neuroendocrine responses
LIGHTNING
Lightning is a form of DC Occurs when electrical difference between a thundercloud and the ground overcomes the insulating properties of the surrounding air Current rises to a peak in about 2 sec Lasts for only 1-2 sec Voltage >1,000,000 V
Currents of >200,000 A
Transformation of the electrical energy to heat generated temperatures as high as 50,000F.
Pathway of the current through the body:
Vertical pathway parallel to the axis of the body is the most dangerous. It involves all the vital organs; central nervous system, heart, respiratory muscles, in pregnant women the uterus and fetus
Horizontal pathway from hand to hand: the heart, respiratory muscles and spinal cord
Pathway through the lower part of the body: local damage
Nervous System Loss of conciousness, confusion & impaired recall
Peripheral motor & sensory nerves : motor & sensory deficits
Seizures, visual disturbances & deafness
Hemiplegia, quadriplegia, spinal cord injury
Transient paralysis, autonomic instability hypertension, peripheral vasospasm due to lightning from massive release of catecholamines Management of Electrical and Lightning Injuries
Overall fluid management should be judicious unless: SIADH Patient Monitoring Most severe cardiac complications present acutely
Very unlikely for a patient to develop a serious or life-threatening dysrhythmia hours or days later
Asymptomatic normal ECG do not need cardiac monitoring Preexisting heart disease: monitor such patients for 24 hrs after the injury
Criteria for cardiac monitoring: Exposure to high voltage Loss of consciousness Abnormal ECG at admission
Electric Shock: What Should You Do? The victim: Felt the current pass through his/her body The current passed through the heart Was held by the source of the electric current Lost consciousness Yes No No No 1 second or more Yes No Yes Cardiac Monitoring 24 hours Touched a voltage source of more than 1 000 volts Yes No Yes Electric Shock: What Should You Do? Page 2. Touched a voltage source of more than 1 000 volts Cardiac Monitoring 24 hours Has burn marks on his/her skin The current passed through the heart Yes No Yes Yes Evaluate and treat burns (surgical evaluation, look for myogolbinuria, etc.) No Was thrown from the source Evaluate trauma No Is pregnant Evaluate fetal activity No Yes Yes No BENIGN SHOCK Reassure and discharge Direction Services de Sante Hydro Quebec, 1995 Kriteria Rujukan Pasien LB 46 Grade 23 Luas LB>10% BSA pd semua umur.
