Electrical Injury - Coggle Diagram

- - - - AC
        
        Contact with AC may cause tetanic muscle contraction, preventing the victim from releasing the electrical source and, thereby, increasing the duration of contact and current delivery.
        
        Thoracic muscle tetany involving the diaphragm and intercostal muscles can result in respiratory arrest.
        
        The repetitive nature of AC increases the likelihood of current delivery to the myocardium during the vulnerable recovery period of the cardiac cycle, which can precipitate ventricular fibrillation.
        
        Low-frequency alternating current (AC) causes more extensive injury to tissues than does high-frequency AC or direct current (DC). This is because low-frequency AC causes ongoing local muscle contraction (flexor muscles greater than extensor muscles) at the site of contact with the electrical source, often rendering the victim unable to let go of the offending object.
      - DC
        
        usually causes a single violent muscle contraction, often thrusting the victim away from the source.
