Electrical burns are devastating injuries that can be prevented. This study reports 38.46% high-voltage and 61.54% low-voltage electrical burn patients. Causative events were exposed electric wires and professional negligence. Patients received blood transfusion, debridement, fasciotomy, amputation, and dressings. Prevention remains the best way to minimize the severity of electrical injuries.
