What Happens to the Body During an Electrical Shock<\/h2>\n

Electricity harms the body by passing through it. How serious the injury is depends on three things. The first is the path the current takes. The second is how long contact lasts. The third is how high the voltage is.<\/p>\n

FloridaHealthFinder’s electrical injury entry covers the causes, effects and first-aid steps for electrical shock.<\/p>\n

Which organ is hit first by electric shock? The heart is the first major concern. Current can disrupt its normal rhythm. That is why doctors watch heart function closely after a shock. Nerves and muscles are affected too.<\/p>\n

Current can also make muscles contract hard. A person may be held to the source. Or they may be thrown away from it. A fall off a ladder or a hit against a hard surface can cause injuries. Those injuries have nothing to do with the electricity itself.<\/p>\n

Even a shock that seems small needs a medical check. Anyone who has been shocked should see a doctor promptly, even when they feel fine. Please follow your doctors’ care and instructions.<\/p>\n
