Abstract

As people come frequently into contact with electrical power sources, electrical injuries to peripheral nerves are commonly seen. The authors first review the parameters determining the severity and distribution of electrical injury to nerve tissue. These include tissue resistance, tissue susceptibility, current pathway, type of current, current density, duration and size of electrical contact. Subsequently, the pathophysiology of electrical injuries to nerve tissue is reviewed. Such injuries can be the result of thermal damage, vascular impairment, histological or electrophysiological changes in peripheral nerves, or direct mechanical trauma. Each of these types of injuries causes, specific lesions. As these lesions, especially delayed peripheral neurologic injury, can cause medico-legal problems, it is important to emphasize that electroneuromyography must be performed as early as possible.

周围神经的电损伤。
由于人们经常与电源接触,周围神经的电损伤是很常见的。作者首先回顾了决定神经组织电损伤严重程度和分布的参数。这些包括组织电阻、组织易感性、电流途径、电流类型、电流密度、持续时间和电接触的大小。随后,对电损伤神经组织的病理生理学进行了综述。这种损伤可能是热损伤、血管损伤、周围神经的组织学或电生理变化或直接机械损伤的结果。每种类型的损伤都有特定的损伤。由于这些病变,特别是迟发性周围神经损伤,可引起医学-法律问题,因此必须强调必须尽早进行神经肌电图检查。
