Electrical burns are injuries caused by the passage of electrical current through the body, which can result in both external and internal damage. They often require immediate medical attention due to potential complications such as cardiac arrest, nerve damage, and deep tissue destruction that may not be immediately visible.

Cardiac arrest is a sudden loss of heart function, leading to a cessation of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs, often resulting in death if not treated immediately. Prompt intervention with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation can significantly increase survival rates.

Nerve damage, or neuropathy, involves injury or dysfunction of the nerves, leading to symptoms like pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the affected area. It can result from various causes including physical injury, infections, metabolic issues, or exposure to toxins, and its management often requires addressing the underlying cause and alleviating symptoms.
