Should you use a AED on a person that has a electrical shock injury?
Yes you should use a AED on a person that has a electrical shock injury.
What is an electric shock?
An electrical shock may cause burns, or it may leave no visible mark on the skin. In either case, an electrical current passing through the body can cause internal damage, cardiac arrest or other injury. Under certain circumstances, even a small amount of electricity can be fatal.
What is an indirect injury?
It is apart of nothing bugged in the electrical system.
What is the purpose of insulation on electrical cables?
The function of electrical insulation is to resist electrical leakage. Shorting and personnel injury are effects of its failure to perform that function.
How the severity of an electric shock depends on the current and voltage?
he severity of injury from electrical shock depends on the amount of electrical amperage (current) and the length of time the current passes through the body For example, 1/10 of an ampere (amp) of electricity going through the body for just 2 seconds is enough to cause death.
Electricity that traverses what areas of the body would probably cause the most injury?
Electrical current that passes through the head or thorax produces the most serious injuries, including fatal arrhythmia, direct cardiac damage, respiratory arrest, direct brain injury, and paralysis
What is the differences between Radiation injury and Chemical injury?
Radiation injury, tissue damage or changes caused by exposure to ionizing radiation-namely, gamma rays, X-rays, and such high-energy particles as neutrons, electrons, and positrons.A chemical injury occurs where someone is exposed to a hazardous substance, either in the atmosphere or through direct contact with the skin.
