Accidental electrical burn injuries are serious because they can cause death by cardiocirculatory arrest. Cardiocirculatory arrest induced by low-voltage current is generally due to ventricular fibrillation, and the prognosis is fairly good if the survival chain is efficient. It is necessary to give priority to early defibrillation using an automated external defibrillator. Early defibrillation can immediately restore spontaneous circulation.
