Hand electric burns are divided into low voltage electric burns and high voltage electric burns. The greatest risk of low voltage electric burns can cause cardiac arrest. If there is no cardiac arrest, it is only a simple skin burn. As with ordinary burns, most wounds can be healed after debridement and dressing change. Deep wounds can be considered for skin grafting to repair burn wounds. If high voltage electric burns occur, they will normally show destructive injuries, mostly on limbs, and serious injuries can also penetrate internal organs. In this case, multiple debridement is required. It is suggested that patients should go to regular hospitals for treatment in time.
