Opinions of 35 cases were given cardiac electric shock at Emergency Department of Cho Ray Hospital

ABSTRACT

Electric accidents that are increasing can damage myocardium, lead to reduce contraction of myocardium, ventricular fibrillation, non-systole, and eventually cardiac arrest. Study on 35 patients with cardiac and breathing arrest since 1995-1997 shown that the youngest people were died when they contacted with low voltage due to arrhythmia. The first aid is very important, artificial respiration, cardiac massage, it shouldn't transfer to hospital when they have cardiac and breathing arrest. First dose of electric shock 200J, second time 3000J, and from third time 4000J. It should use electric safe devices.
