AB  - KEY  POINTSAll  patients  are  to  be  considered  to  have  multisystem  injuries,  including  cervical  spine  fracture,  until  such  injuries  are  ruled  out.Intravenous  fluid  resuscitation  should  not  be  underestimated.  The  preservation  of  renal  function  depends  largely  on  adequate  volume  resuscitation.Most  patients  should  be  monitored  for  cardiac  dysrhythmias  for  24  to  48  hours  after  injury,  particularly  if  electrocardiographic  abnormalities  were  present  or  persist.Early  recognition  and  decompression  of  compartment  syndromes  are  critical  for  maximizing  extremity  salvage  and  long-term  function.Adequate  wound  care  necessitates  complete  debridement  of  nonviable  tissue  followed  by  wound  closure  as  expeditiously  as  possible.Survivors  of  electrical  injury  often  experience  chronic  neuromuscular  sequelae  that  can  impact  rehabilitation  and  the  ability  to  return  to  work.
