Long-term sequelae of electrical injury.

Objective: To summarize the current evidence-based knowledge about the long-term sequelae of injuries from electrical current.

Quality Of Evidence: MEDLINE was searched for English-language articles published in the past 20 years using the following search terms: electrical, injuries, wound, trauma, accident, sequelae, long-term, follow-up, and aftereffects. For obvious reasons, it is unethical to randomly study electrical injury in controlled clinical trials.

The middle of the century saw the rapid development of the teaching hospital as the centre of professional education, collegiate identity, medical specialisation and clinical research.
