The advent of fishing rods made of carbon fiber and graphite rods has greatly increased the risks of electrical injuries associated with fishing. The braided fishing lines and metal hooks put the fishermen at risk for electrical injuries.
We review our burn center's experience with electrical injuries related to fishing activities during the last four years.
We retrospectively collected data on patients with electrical burns related to fishing activities between January 2006, when our burns unit was established, and December 2009. Eight patients with electrical burns were admitted during this period of time, five who sustained the injury while fishing, due to contact of the fishing rod with overhead high-voltage cables and three who were injured during illegal fishing, using electricity to stun the fish.
The total burn surface area ranged from 0.5% to 70%. Three of the patients sustained fourth degree burns, while the rest had second and third degree burns. One patient underwent scapulohumeral disarticulation and an above-knee amputation. Two patients had fingers and toes amputated. Latissimus dorsi and anterolateral thigh flaps were used to cover the defects in two cases. Local flaps were employed in other two cases to cover the tissue defects. Two patients died.
Fishing-related burns and illegal fishing can lead to serious injuries and death.
碳纤维和玻璃纤维钓竿的出现大大增加了与钓鱼相关的电击伤的风险。编织钓线和金属鱼钩使渔民面临电击伤的风险。
我们回顾了过去四年中与钓鱼活动相关的电击伤烧伤中心的经验。
我们回顾性收集了 2006 年 1 月（烧伤科成立之时）至 2009 年 12 月期间因钓鱼活动导致的电击伤患者的数据。在此期间，共有 8 名电击伤患者入院，其中 5 名是由于钓鱼竿接触架空高压电缆而受伤，3 名是在非法捕鱼时使用电击鱼而受伤。
总烧伤面积从 0.5%到 70%不等。3 名患者为 4 度烧伤，其余为 2 度和 3 度烧伤。1 名患者行肩胛肱骨头离断术和膝上截肢术。2 名患者行手指和脚趾截肢术。2 例患者使用背阔肌和股前外侧皮瓣覆盖缺损，另外 2 例患者使用局部皮瓣覆盖组织缺损。2 名患者死亡。
与钓鱼相关的烧伤和非法捕鱼可导致严重的伤害和死亡。
