The myopathic effects of electrical injury

Öz:

AMAÇ Bu çalışmada, elektrik çarpmasıyla yaralanan hastalarda voltaj seviyesinin kas harabiyeti üzerine etkisi araştırıldı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Bu geriye dönük olarak yapılan çalışmaya elektrik çarpmasıyla yaralanan 36 hasta alındı (21 yüksek voltaj ve 15 düşük voltaj). Başvuruda her bir hastanın serum kreatin kinaz (CK), aspartat aminotransferaz (AST) ve alanin aminotransferaz (ALT) değerleri belirlendi. BULGULAR Her nekadar biz çalışmamızda yüksek voltaja maruz kalan hastalardaki serum CK seviyelerini düşük voltaja maruz kalan hastalardakilerden daha yüksek bulduysak da, bu iki grup arasındaki fark anlamlı değildi. Serum AST ve ALT seviyeleri her iki grupta da yüksek idi. Fakat gruplar arasında hiçbir anlamlı fark yoktu. SONUÇ İskelet kas harabiyetinin yüksek ve düşük voltaj elektrik yaralanması ile meydana gelebildiği ve bu hastalarda kas harabiyeti derecesinin kas enzimlerinin özellikle CK?nın, yükselmiş başlangıç serum seviyeleri ile uyumlu olabildiği sonucuna varıldı. Bununla birlikte voltaj seviyesinin kas harabiyetinin derecesi ile direkt korelâsyonunun güçlü bir delilinin olup olmadığını belirlemek için daha ileri araştırmalar gereklidir.

Elektrik yaralanmasının miyopati etkileri

BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the effect of voltage levels on muscle damage in patients with electrical injuries. METHODS This retrospective study included 36 patients with electrical injury (high voltage, 21; low voltage, 15). Initial serum creatine kinase (CK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were obtained from each patient on admission. RESULTS Although CK levels were observed to be higher in the high-voltage injured patients than in those exposed to a low voltage, the difference was not statistically significant. The serum AST and ALT levels were elevated in both groups, but there was no significant difference between the groups. CONCLUSION Skeletal muscle damage can be caused by both high-voltage and low-voltage electrical injury, and in these patients, the degree of muscle damage may be consistent with the elevated initial serum levels of muscle enzymes, especially of CK. However, further researches are necessary to determine if there is strong evidence of a direct correlation between voltage level and the degree of muscle damage.
