Objectives: Electrical burn injury is one of major causes of disability and mortality in productive age. In  the last 3 years, it is the third most frequent case in our centre. Early fasciotomy is the first choice of limb salvage caused by deep muscle necrosis and tissue oedema. In electrical burn injury, there are specific problems among which is to asses tissue viability in order to salvage the viable tissue and remove the devitalized tissue. Rapid assessment of viability is needed to provide proper treatment for these patients. Forward looking infrared (FLIR) is a hand held thermography that might be beneficial to the cause by assessing blood flow via temperature. This article will evaluate the accuracy of thermal imaging in determining the tissue and muscle vitality after fasciotomy in electrical burn injuries prior to further surgical intervention. 
Methods: Patients with electrical burn injury who had undergone emergency fasciotomy of the limbs will be evaluated with FLIR ONE handheld camera in the operating theatre. The tissues that were visualized similar as body temperature considered to be viable tissue, and non-viable tissues were removed. We present three cases with electrical burn injury that were managed with the aid of FLIR ONE.
Results: After fasciotomy due to impending compartment syndromes of three different patients, tissue viability was evaluated with FLIR ONE. Non-viable tissues were identified with the  FLIR ONE and were consistent with clinical findings, after performed non-viable tissue removal, in both patients the tissue removal proved to be adequate and there were no further debridement needed. 
Conclusions: FLIR is one of the tools that will help surgeons in determining viability of tissues after fasciotomy in burn injuries in order to decide whether to salvage extremities or perform amputations. In the future, it may become the standard tools in burn injury assessment
