An electrical shock may cause burns, or it may leave no visible mark on the skin. In either case, an electrical current passing through the body can cause internal damage, cardiac arrest or other injury. Under certain circumstances, even a small amount of electricity can be fatal.We must do so to prevent him from getting any serious damages or death

Answer:

When someone receives an electric shock, their body temperature drops quickly. As a result, the blood's viscosity rises, obstructing blood flow and bringing on a heart attack. When massaged, the body warms up and the blood viscosity returns to normal. The risky circumstance is thereby avoided by the person.

Explanation:

  • Our bodies are electricity-conductors. When any part of your body comes into contact with live electricity, an electric current travels through the tissues and shocks you. It's sometimes referred to as electrocution.
  • Burns to the skin, burns to interior tissues, electrical interference or damage (or both), and irregular heartbeat are all possible effects depending on the length and intensity of the electric shock.
  • To determine whether the heart has been impacted by a minor electric shock, it is crucial to seek medical assistance.
  • When an electric current flows through the body and triggers a physiological reaction, electrical harm happens. The contact period, tissue resistance, and current density all affect how much damage is done. Small currents may go unnoticed or just produce a little tingle. A person may be startled by a low, otherwise harmless current and suffer harm if they jerk away or fall.
  • Stronger currents may be painful or agonising, while stronger currents may produce uncontrollable muscle spasms that prohibit the person from running away from the electrical source. Even stronger currents damage tissue and can result in cardiac collapse or ventricular fibrillation.
  • Electrical damage can result in amputations, bone fractures, and orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions. When someone passes away as a result of receiving an electric shock, it is referred to as electrocution. A sizable current travels through the person's tissue when an electrically charged body part makes contact with it, harming the tissue. Contact with electric wire or machinery is the main culprit.
  • In circumstances when high voltages are present, such as atop a power transmission tower, direct contact might not be necessary since the voltage may "jump" the air gap to the electrical equipment. Internal damage from electrical shock to the human body might include cardiac arrest. It is advisable to massage the body to ward off cardiac arrest and preserve blood flow.
