Lightning strike victims are rarely presented at an emergency department. Burns are often the primary focus. This case report describes the improvised explosive device like-injury to the thorax due to lightning strike and its treatment, which has not been described prior in (kerauno)medicine. Penetrating injury due to blast from lightning strike is extremely rare. These "shrapnel" injuries should however be ruled out in all patients struck by lightning.
雷击受害者很少到急诊科就诊。烧伤通常是主要关注点。本病例报告描述了因雷击导致的类似于简易爆炸装置的胸部损伤及其治疗方法,这在(雷电)医学中尚无相关描述。雷击导致的穿透性损伤极为罕见。然而,所有被雷击的患者都应排除这些“弹片”损伤。
