Abstract

The purpose of this study was to prevent electric shock to children. children are at high risk of electrocution by accidents. In the present case, a 2-year-old child was electrocuted after inserting metal chopsticks into a home outlet. In this case, professional advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) was properly performed by a 119 paramedic, resulting in the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in the child. There are very few successful cases of resuscitation of patients involved in electric shock accidents in Korea, and we report a case of ROSC and discharge and proper resuscitation by a 119 paramedic.

본 연구의 목적은 소아에서 감전으로 인한 심정지 사례를 통하여 소아 감전에 대한 예방을 더 잘 하고자 하는데 있다. 소아기는 전기 손상의 위험성이 높은 환자군 중 하나이며, 본 증례에서도 2살의 소아가 가정 콘센트에 젓가락을 삽입하여 감전사고 된 상황이다. 이 사례는 119구급대에 의해 전문심폐소생술이 적절하게 이루어져 병원 전 자발순환회복(Return of spontaneous circulation, ROSC)된 사례이다. 국내에서 소아의 감전사고 소생 성공사례가 매우 드물며, 119구급대원의 적절한 소생술로 자발순환회복되어 퇴원한 1례를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
