Introduction: Electrical injury is a physiological reaction caused by electric current passing through the body. Electric injuries can be caused by the impact and exposure to electric current or lightning, either at home or at work.

The potential severity of electrical injuries cannot be underestimated. The injury depends on the density of the current, tissue resistance, and duration of contact. Tiny currents may be imperceptible or produce a light tingling sensation. Injuries can range from minor to severe, and fatal injuries are just as likely to occur at home as in the workplace, with around 20 Australians dying each year from electric shock.

The significance of this paper lies in its exploration of the preparedness of healthcare professionals in managing patients with electric shock and lightning injuries. The study delves into the triage, assessment, monitoring, treatment, and transport with medical care in pre-hospital settings. The research was conducted based on data obtained from assessments of health care professionals, anamnestic data, the status of vital parameters, monitoring, medical procedures, system-level injuries, type of health care delivery, and location.

Conclusions: The discrepancies found in reporting pathological conditions and injuries about electrical burn wounds underscore the urgent need for a standardized system for classifying these pathological conditions. Although electric shock-related mortality is not the leading cause of death in high-prevalence areas, the importance of raising awareness cannot be overstated.
