Abstract:
Joule heating has long been considered as the principal component of tissue damage in electrical injury. Recent studies suggest electroporation, a nonthermally medicated mechanism of cell membrane damage, is also an important factor. This study is significant because it directly addresses whether nonthermal mechanisms of cell damage can cause tissue necrosis without visible thermal changes.
