THE ETIOLOGY OF THE ELECTRIC INJURIES DUE TO THE PASSAGE OF HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY BETWEEN BOTH THIGHS
Special equipments were used to pass 3,000 V electricity between the thighs of rabbits and the voltage, ampere and time were recorded by an oscillograph. In the cases in which over 8,000 Joules of 3,000V A.C. were parsed the decrease of CO
2 in the arterial blood was noticed remarkably, while the O
2 in the arterial blood increases slighty. Furthermore, the blood amino-N increases and the blood pH declines acid. Therefore, the shock due to high voltage electricity resembles with the traumatic shock. Another noticeable remark is that the blood change occurs within 10 minutes after electric shock in 3,000 V electricity.
In cases of under 3,400 Joules of 1,500 V A.C. no remarkable changes in blood were notied as in 3,000V cases. The pathological changes of the important organs in 3,000V cases resemble with that of 100 V cases. (author's abstrast)
