Abstract

Electrocution poses serious complications seen mostly at the time of the event. Physicians and patients are usually not aware of the progressive nature and its potentially delayed effect as demonstrated in our case. We believe that a risk stratification model should be designed to guide physicians for proper management.

Keywords: electrical injury; electrocution; out of hospital cardiac arrest; ventricular fibrillation.
