  • Lightning Injuries in Northern Ireland Aseel Sleiwah1, Jill Baker2, Christopher Gowers3, Derek M Elsom4, Abid Rashid5
    Ulster Med J 2018;87(3):168-172 Clinical Paper Lightning injuries in Northern Ireland Aseel Sleiwah1, Jill Baker2, Christopher Gowers3, Derek M Elsom4, Abid Rashid5. Accepted: 25th January 2018 Provenance: externally peer-reviewed. ABSTRACT Introduction: Lightning injuries are uncommon in Northern Ireland (NI) with scarce reports detailing incidence and local experience. We present a case study of 3 patients involved in a single lightning strike with a review of the incidence of similar injuries in the province. Methods: Data from TORRO’s National Lightning Incidents Database between 1987 and 2016 (30 years) were searched to identify victims of lightning injuries in NI. Information on 3 patients with lightning injuries that were managed in our regional burns and plastic surgery service was collected and examined. A supplementary search in hospital records was conducted over the last 20 years to identify additional data. Results: Prior to our study, 6 victims of lightning injuries were identified of whom 5 survived and 1 died. Our 3 patients comprised of 2 children and 1 accompanying adult. All survived but the adult suffered cardiac arrest and required a prolonged period of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Conclusion: While lightning injuries are rare in NI, this is the first report of more than one person affected by a single lightning incident in the province. In our limited experience, immediate public response and prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation efforts facilitated by automated defibrillators result in a favourable outcome. BACKGROUND: off-duty soldier struck on the Mourne Mountains in 2006. In the United Kingdom (UK), lightning strikes are relatively The hospital data search did not identify any other cases.
