Electrocution - Wikipedia Electrocution is death or severe injury caused by electric shock from electric current passing through the body The word is derived from "electro" and "execution", but it is also used for accidental death
ELECTROCUTION中文(简体)翻译：剑桥词典 - Cambridge Dictionary During that time, 62 prisoners were executed by electrocution She died from a flood-related electrocution Many electrocutions and home electrical fires can be prevented simply by understanding basic electrical safety
The electrophysiology of electrocution - PMC Electrocution is a death caused by an application of electrical current to the human body In this article, we review salient historical research and describe the scientific advances that support ventricular fibrillation (VF) as the mechanism of electrocution
Electrocution | History, Pros Cons | Britannica Electrocution, method of execution in which the condemned person is subjected to a heavy charge of electric current Once the most widely used method of execution in the United States, electrocution was largely supplanted by lethal injection in the late 20th and early 21st centuries and is now used
Electrocution - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Electrocution is a death caused by an application of electrical current to the human body Our present understanding of electrocution—as the induction of ventricular fibrillation (VF)—followed a nearly century-long path of misunderstandings and speculation primarily focused on hypotheses of asphyxia as well as central nervous system trauma
What Happens When One Gets Electrocuted? - Chicago Electrical Trauma . . . Electrocution is an event that signifies a fatal electrical shock, whereas electrical injury is a term that refers to a non-fatal electrical shock To simplify, while both electrical injury and electrocution are caused by the passage of abnormal electrical currents through the body during electrical shock, electrocution is the term
Electrocution Injuries - EMTprep Electrocution injuries have the potential to be deadly, and as EMS providers it is imperative that we know how to recognize and treat them Electrocution injuries are classified in three ways: source (electrical or lighting), voltage (high or low), and current (alternating or direct)
The Electrophysiology of Electrocution - ResearchGate This review focuses on "low-power" electrocutions rather than on the "high-power" electrocutions such as from lightning and power lines Low-power electrocution induces ventricular fibrillation
How Does Electrocution Kill You? - Naked Scientists Electrocution is a sudden and involuntary introduction of large and or continuous amount of electricity into the human body The word “electrocution” is derived from “electro” and “execution” and was coined by US newspapers as a result of the first electric chair used in 1890
