In this guest audio presentation electrical injury expert Dr. Marc Jeschke explains the similarities between high and low-voltage electrical injuries, the physical, social, mental health, and economic impact of electrical injury, and what research is needed to improve patient outcomes.
This video demonstrates how to assess motor dysfunction in people with a history of repeated low-voltage electrical injury using the Box and Block test, a typical occupational therapy assessment with normative values against which to compare results.
4 patient safety activists discuss their efforts for an independent review of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) use in the UK.
each year more than two million people begin their life after ECT. We must take warnings about permanent injury seriously. Not only can some patients experience problems during and immediately after ECT, BUT some patients develop additional problems long after treatment.
If the device is reclassified a scientific safety investigation of these devices will never take place, and patients will not have the information they need to make an informed choice about the treatment.
