AB ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSISExtent  of  injury  is  determined  by  the  type,  amount,  duration,  and  pathway  of  electrical  current.Clinical  findings  of  death  are  unreliable;  therefore,  resuscitation  efforts  must  be  attempted  before  assuming  the  electrical  injury  victim  is  dead.Skin  findings  may  be  misleading  and  are  not  indicative  of  the  degree  of  deeper  tissue  injury.
