Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that affect mortality in adultsdue to high voltage electric injury.Material and methods: Patients with electrical injuries admitted to the emergency departmentand intensive care unit between January 2009- December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.The cases were evaluated mortality in relation to by age, gender, seasonal distribution, eventlocation, degree of burns, laboratory findings, ECG changes, falls from height, shock, intensivecare unit admission, development of sepsis.Results: One hundred fifty two cases were exposed to high-voltage electricity. Age group, sex,summer season, be processing industry, second and third degree burned, be unconsciousness,accompanied falls from height, evidence of shock, presence of ECG changes, admissionintensive care unit, have positive blood cultures, development of sepsis were significantly inrelation to mortality. Patients have 2nd degree burns, the presence of shock and sepsis wereindependent predictive factors in terms of mortality.Conclusion: In cases with high-voltage electrical injuries, male, elderly, be unconsciousness,development shock, 2nd and 3rd degree burns, development sepsis, fall from height, admissionintensive care unit were more mortally
