  2. ELECTRICAL BURN INJURIES • SUMMARY. The distribution of burn injuries treated in the Saca Burns Centre in Kosice (Slovakia) is documented. During the period considered (1971 -present day), electrical burns constituted 2.7% of all burn cases treated. With regard to the period between 1987 and 1994, a more detailed study describes 96 patients treated for burns caused by electricity. The causes of the burns and typology are described. The methods of treatment are also considered. • Introduction

  3. Flash or are burns causing the ignition of clothing produce similar effects to those of ordinary burns, with serious damage depending on the percentage of TBSA. Direct electrical injury is due to the passage of current through skin, which is damaged either by the heat generated or by a specific but as yet not well-defined effect on the body. It is generally accepted that the severity of an injury is proportional to the intensity of current that flows through the tissue. • Results

  4. Flash or arc burns are usually superficial despite the fact that the arc generates temperatures of over 10,000 0C.
