Electric shock refers to the casualty's contact with electricity and the passage of electricity through the body. Electric shock in the pediatric population accounts for 1/5 of all electric shocks. In the pediatric population, the incidence of electric shocks is highest in infancy and adolescence. The effect of current on organs and tissues depends on the Kouwenhoven factors (type of current, current strength, length of time of exposure, body resistance, pathway of the current in the body and electrical field strength). These are used to predict tissue damage caused by electrical energy. The effect of electricity on the body is manifested by a wide range of damage that can vary from mild burns to cardiopulmonary arrest due to ventricular fibrillation or paralysis of the thoracic muscles. Tissue and organ damage is manifested by various pathological events such as rhabdomyolysis or the development of arrhythmias and burns. It is important to prevent secondary complications such as the development of sepsis or acute kidney injury due to hypovolemia. The approach to a patient who has suffered an electric shock consists of taking ananamnesis or a heteroanamnesis, physical examination and clinical evaluation, and further diagnostic processing if necessary. Treatment of electric shock in children is symptomatic. Special attention should be paid to the treatment of burns. Treatment of these patients is challenging because of the wide range of effects of electricity and it requires close cooperation of various specialists, such as pediatric intensive care specialists, pediatric surgeons, cardiologists, and other.
