Objectives Data on fetal effects following accidental electric shock during pregnancy are scarce. We report on a case of accidental maternal electric shock associated with benign fetal arrhythmia in a woman at 28 weeks' gestation. Study Design Case report. Results Although electrocution involving low-voltage, low-frequency current has been associated with fatal cardiac arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities, two protective parameters in the present case likely reduced the fetal injury: the dry skin at the site of current entry and the hand-to-hand pathway of current flow. Conclusion Because the pathophysiology of electric injury is altered during pregnancy, assessment of fetal well-being should be prompted no matter how trivial an incident may appear.
目的 关于孕期意外触电后胎儿影响的数据稀缺。我们报告一例妊娠28周的孕妇意外触电并伴有胎儿良性心律失常的病例。研究设计 病例报告。结果 尽管涉及低电压、低频电流的触电与致命性心律失常和传导异常有关，但本病例中的两个保护因素可能减轻了对胎儿的损伤：电流进入部位的皮肤干燥以及电流的手到手传导路径。结论 由于孕期电损伤的病理生理学发生改变，无论事件看似多么微不足道，都应促使对胎儿健康状况进行评估。
