Abstract
The purpose of this study was to prevent electric shock to children. children are at high risk of electrocution by accidents. In the present case, a 2-year-old child was electrocuted after inserting metal chopsticks into a home outlet. In this case, professional advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) was properly performed by a 119 paramedic, resulting in the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in the child. There are very few successful cases of resuscitation of patients involved in electric shock accidents in Korea, and we report a case of ROSC and discharge and proper resuscitation by a 119 paramedic.
