双侧上肢截肢导致严重残疾。高压电损伤是一种罕见的原因，这种结果和伤害往往发生的职业危害。我们提出了三个意外的高电压伤害的情况下，发生在非职业环境的报告。所有受害者在转诊到我们医院之前最初都在其他中心接受治疗，随后都进行了双侧上肢截肢。治疗费用高，预防的重要性和康复的必要性得到了强调。
Bilateral upper limb amputations result in severe disability. High voltage electrical injury is a rare cause of such an outcome and injuries often occur as occupational hazards. We present three case reports of accidental high voltage injuries that occurred in a non-occupational setting. Victims were all initially managed at other centres before referral to our hospital and all subsequently had bilateral upper limb amputations. The high cost of treatment, importance of prevention, and need for rehabilitation are highlighted.
