“…Secara umum, kita dapat mengatakan bahwa terjadinya petir adalah hasil dari akumulasi muatan atmosfer di awan. Muatan di awan ini akan menginduksi muatan lain di tanah [1], [2] Ketika potensi antara tanah dan awan lebih besar dari tegangan tembus kritis udara, sambaran petir akan terjadi [3].…”

Pembangunan dua gedung baru di kampus Universitas Muhammadiyah Palembang diperlukan untuk mengakomodir kebutuhan akan gedung perkuliahan dan administrasi yang lebih representatif. Gedung-gedung baru ini ketinggiannya cukup mencolok dibandingkan gedung-gedung terdahulu, sehingga dibutuhkan sistem proteksi petir untuk meminimalisir dampak dari sambaran. Sistem perlindungan yang dimaksud meliputi air terminal yang dihubungkan dengan elektroda pentanahan melalui down conductor. Salah satu parameter yang harus diperhatikan adalah besaran potensial dan distribusinya di antara elektroda pentanahan, karenanya penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui nilai potensial pentanahan dan distribusi potensial elektroda pentanahan pada kedua gedung serta faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Pada penelitian ini, perhitungan distribusi potensial sistem proteksi eksternal gedung baru kampus Universitas Muhammadiyah Palembang dilakukan melalui simulasi menggunakan Alternative Transient Program (ATP) Draw 72. Dalam simulasi, kabel Bare Core 70 mm2 digunakan sebagai down conductor dan dua elektroda pentanahan. Secara fisik kedua gedung tidak banyak perbedaan sehingga konfigurasi sistem proteksi petir eksternal juga tidak jauh berbeda. Dari simulasi diperoleh besar potensial pada Gedung FEB sebesar 61 kV sedangkan pada Gedung Terpadu FT-FAI sebesar 89 kV. Nilai-nilai ini sama untuk kedua batang elektroda yang menunjukkan potensial terdistribusi merata di antara elektroda pentanahan. Perbedaan nilai potensial disebabkan kondisi tanah antara kedua gedung berbeda dimana Gedung FEB berada pada lahan yang relatif lebih kering dibandingkan Gedung Terpadu FT-FAI. Dari hasil ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa kondisi tanah menjadi faktor yang paling mempengaruhi nilai potensial sistem pentanahan.

“…В основе патогенеза ожогов вследствие удара молнии лежит не только повреждение сосудов кожи электричеством, но и непосредственное воздействие высокой температуры. Ожоги обычно поверхностные, что обусловлено крайне малым временем воздействия повреждающих факторов [10]. По этой же причине в сравнении с другими электрическими ожогами вызванные атмосферным электричеством ожоги характеризуются относительно благоприятным исходом [11].…”

Objective. The world statistics on lightning strike outcomes reveals 6000 to 24000 human deaths annually. The lightning strike regular mortality is 20–30% with two thirds of survivors having serious complications and long lasting consequences. Every third person struck by lightning bears skin damage.Clinical observation. The man, 27 years old, was traumatized after the lightning struck into his forehead area. A contused-lacerated wound of soft tissues was diagnosed. The patient was taken to the local district hospital for primary care. 20 days after receiving the injury, he turned to the Saratov Regional Clinical Center for Combustio- logy, where he underwent autodermoplasty of the defect in the integument of the skull.Discussion. Direct lightning strike is technically a result of the immediate contact of the injured with the atmospheric electricity. It comprises no more than 5% all lightning strike cases. The outcome is often lethal as the electrical discharge received is the highest.Conclusion. Autodermotransplanting is advantageous in the replacement of damaged skin integument, inclu- ding that caused by atmospheric electricity. In such situations adequate first aid treatment, timely transportation, staged medical treatment, specialized stationary treatment, proper surgical treatment, and post-operative care are important.

“…Penetrating injuries secondary to lightning strike are extremely rare especially in paediatric patients. Referral of lightning strike victims to a burn unit is currently usually advised [1,2]. This paper reviews the epidemiology, clinical presentation and management principles of penetrating injury resulting from lightning strike blast.…”

Lightning strike victims are rarely presented at an emergency department. Burns are often the primary focus. This case report describes the improvised explosive device like-injury to the thorax due to lightning strike and its treatment, which has not been described prior in (kerauno)medicine. Penetrating injury due to blast from lightning strike is extremely rare. These "shrapnel" injuries should however be ruled out in all patients struck by lightning.

Lightning Burns

Abstract: We present the case of a lightning-strike victim. This case illustrates the importance of in-field care, appropriate referral to a burn center, and the tendency of lightning burns to progress to full-thickness injury.
