Acute effect of simultaneous discharge of TASER X26TASER X26 on anesthetized swine model
Methods This study was a laboratory investigation approved by the animal use committee at our institute. Twelve farm-bred swine weighing between 20 kg and 25 kg were anesthetized with tiletamine/zolazepam and xylazine. The animals were exposed to TASER X26 discharge with one device or two darts (n = 5) in single group and with two devices or four darts (n = 5) in double group. The sham control ...
متن کاملAcute effects of TASER X26 discharges in a swine model.
BACKGROUND Very little objective laboratory data are available describing the physiologic effects of stun guns or electromuscular incapacitation devices (EIDs). Unfortunately, there have been several hundred in-custody deaths, which have been temporally associated with the deployment of these devices. Most of the deaths have been attributed to specific cardiac and metabolic effects. We hypothes...
متن کاملTaser X26 discharges in swine: ventricular rhythm capture is dependent on discharge vector.
BACKGROUND Data from our previous studies indicate that Taser X26 stun devices can acutely alter cardiac function in swine. We hypothesized that most transcardiac discharge vectors would capture ventricular rhythm, but that other vectors, not traversing the heart, would fail to capture the ventricular rhythm. METHODS Using an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approved protoc...
متن کاملRepetitive TASER X26 discharge resulted in adverse physiologic events with a dose-response relationship related to the duration of discharge in anesthetized swine model.
The objectives of our study were to investigate the dose-response relationship of the TASER X26 discharge duration in an anesthetized swine model. Fourteen swines were anesthetized and then exposed to TASER X26 discharge for 5 sec (n = 5) or for 10 sec (n = 6). The sham control group (n = 3) was anesthetized and studied using the same protocol except TASER X26 discharges during the experiments....
متن کاملTASER X26 discharges in swine produce potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias.
OBJECTIVES Data from the authors and others suggest that TASER X26 stun devices can acutely alter cardiac function in swine. The authors hypothesized that TASER discharges degrade cardiac performance through a mechanism not involving concurrent acidosis. METHODS Using an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)-approved protocol, Yorkshire pigs (25-71 kg) were anesthetized, paralyz...
