Premium Photo Unconscious Electro Shock Accident Victimized An Burns (usually where the electricity enters and exits your body). shortness of breath (dyspnea). abdominal pain. chest pain. seizures. headaches. vision or hearing issues. cataracts (if the electricity passes through your eyes). burned, charred lips (if a child gets shocked from chewing on an electrical cord). High voltage currents of 500 v and more can cause deep burns, while low voltage currents consisting of 110–120 v can result in muscle spasms. a person can get an electric shock through contact.
Premium Photo Electric Worker Suffered An Electric Shock Accident Potential symptoms of an electric shock include: loss of consciousness. muscle spasms. numbness or tingling. breathing problems. headache. problems with vision or hearing. burns. seizures. Burns. dangerous heart rhythms. tingling sensations. seizures. neurologic problems like weakness and numbness. most electrical injuries are work related, low voltage injuries, due to longer contact time with the source. most patients evaluated in a hospital with a low voltage injury go home the same or next day. An electric shock occurs when someone has direct contact with a high voltage current that travels through the body. several things can cause an electric shock, including: being struck by lightening. contact with downed power lines. putting fingers or objects into an electrical socket. Call 911 or your local emergency number if the source of the burn is a high voltage wire or lightning. don't get near high voltage wires until the power is turned off. overhead power lines usually aren't insulated. stay at least 20 feet (about 6 meters) away — farther if wires are jumping and sparking. don't move a person with an electrical.
