TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Survival following lightning strike and treatment of sequelae JO - Ugeskrift for Laeger A1 - Pedersen, Malene Lægdsgaard A1 - Uslu, Bulent A1 - Lind, Morten Nikolaj A1 - Carl, Peder SP - 1138 EP - 1139 VL - 173 IS - 15 N2 - Lightning strike is an unpredictable weather phenomenon which can cause a variety of injuries to the human body. We present a case report with a 24-year-old male football [soccer] player, who survived prolonged cardiac arrest after a lighting strike and then presented with multiple organ dysfunction due to cellular swelling, extreme rhabdomyolysis and global hypoperfusion. We describe the clinical observations, therapy and injuries which may be expected. Furthermore, the pathophysiology and factors influencing the survival of this patient are discussed.
