TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - The neurological complications of electrical injury: a nursing case management perspective JO - Axone A1 - Coubrough, Valerie A1 - Warnell, Paulette SP - 14 EP - 22 VL - 23 IS - 4 N2 - High-energy electrical injury, whether from lightning strike or electrical shock, occurs primarily in the workplace. Neurological dysfunction can be a devastating complication of electrical injury. A review of the literature was undertaken to develop a better understanding of the epidemiology, mechanisms of injury and neuropathology associated with this type of injury. The numerous challenges inherent in the management of these complex cases were illustrated by three case studies.
