Electrical Burns

For electrical burns:
  • Disconnect the source of the electricity if it can be done safely.
  • Refer the victim for emergency care.
No matter how minor the burn may appear, the victim must be evaluated by a doctor immediately. The amount of internal damage done by electricity may not be immediately apparent.
