    Study Notes

    Symptoms of Electric Shock

    • Common symptoms include dizziness, confusion, cardiac arrest, muscle spasms, and external burns.
    • Victims may experience respiratory difficulties or unconsciousness depending on severity.

    Types of Burns from Electric Current

    • Electric burns are typically third-degree due to the internal heating of tissues.
    • Damage occurs internally, often more severe than surface appearances might suggest.

    Cell Death from High-Intensity Electric Fields

    • Exposure can cause cell death due to enlargement of cellular pores.
    • This alteration disrupts cellular integrity and function, leading to cell malfunction.

    Factors Influencing Severity of Electrical Shock

    • Severity is affected by current type (AC vs. DC), voltage, duration of exposure, and pathway through the body.
    • The physical condition and response of the individual do not influence shock severity.

    Energy Delivery During Current Flow

    • Current does not deliver energy as heat; instead, it disrupts normal cellular activities and can cause necrosis.
    • The mechanism of energy transfer affects tissue damage and potential for recovery.
