Lesions due to electricity
As general rule, we will follow these guidelines:
- Disconnect the power before touching the victim.
- If this is not possible, isolate ourselves with sticks, ropes, etc. without touching the victim directly.
- Check vital signs and begin CPR. If necessary, even over several hours, so you have to anticipate turns.
- Cover the affected area (entrance and exit).
- Transfer to hospital even if the injuries are minimal, changes may occur later.
