An electrical injury (electric injury) or electrical shock (electric shock) is damage sustained to the skin or internal organs on direct contact with an electric current. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The injury depends on the density of the current , tissue resistance and duration of contact. [ 4 ]
Initial symptoms may include heart asystole and respiratory arrest. [1] While the asystole may spontaneously resolve fairly rapidly, the respiratory arrest is typically more prolonged. [1] Other symptoms may include burns and blunt injuries. [1] Of those who survive, about 75% have ongoing health problems as a result, such as cataracts and ...

Macroshock is a medical term for the effects of body exposed to electrical current, which can lead to severe injury or death by electrocution.It is used most often in the medical field, but is also commonly used in the fields of electrophysiology and bioengineering.
Commonly reported symptoms include flu-like symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, sweating) and sleep disturbances (e.g., insomnia, nightmares, constant sleepiness). Sensory and movement disturbances have also been reported, including imbalance , tremors , vertigo , dizziness , and electric-shock-like experiences in the brain ...
1. Pancreatitis. Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) was reported in clinical trials on Ozempic. But the results weren’t conclusive. If pancreatitis is indeed a risk, it seems to be ...
The Chicago Electrical Trauma Rehabilitation Institute (CETRI), was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 2009 by a team of scientists and physicians for the purpose of finding more effective medical intervention strategies to increase neuromuscular, neurosensory and neuropsychological function recovery in electrical and lightning injury survivors.
