Abstract

Electrical injuries and especially those of high voltage still remain a source of high morbidity. Over the past few years, a change in the epidemiologic profile of these lesions was noticed at the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital Burn Unit, corresponding to an increase in cases out of the legal framework. It is our aim to describe this particular subset, to determine the extent of their injuries and to understand the reason for their increased incidence. We think this was favoured by the rise in the unemployment rate, along with higher copper prices.

摘要

电击伤，尤其是高压电击伤，仍然是高发病率的一个来源。在过去几年里，巴塞罗那比埃斯医院烧伤科注意到这些损伤的流行病学特征发生了变化，这与超出法律框架的病例增加相对应。我们的目的是描述这一特定子集，确定其损伤程度，并了解其发病率增加的原因。我们认为，失业率上升以及铜价上涨促成了这种情况。
