Without adequate early fluid resuscitation, myoglobinuric acute kidney injury can occur.Sufficient fluid should be administered to maintain a urine flow of 1 to 1.5 mL/kg/h, 2 mL/kg/h until the urine is myoglobin-free.Lip and oral commissure burns are initially bloodless and nearly painless, but as the eschar separates in 1 to 2 weeks, severe bleeding can occur as the labial artery is uncovered.Resuscitation of the apparently dead is the rule with lightning injuries.When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors. Every person should learn and teach this preventive action.
