Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac Electrophysiological Consequences of Neuromuscular Incapacitating Device Discharges
Kumaraswamy Nanthakumar,Ian Billingsley,Stéphane Massé,Paul Dorian,Douglas Cameron,Vijay S. Chauhan,Eugene Downar,Elias Sevaptsidis +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that NIDs may have cardiac risks that require further investigation in humans and in an experimental model, NID discharges across the chest can produce cardiac stimulation at high rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute Effects of TASER X26 Discharges in a Swine Model
Andrew Dennis,Daniel J. Valentino,Robert J. Walter,Kimberly K. Nagy,Jerry Winners,Faran Bokhari,Dorion Wiley,Kimberly Joseph,Roxanne R. Roberts +8 more
TL;DR: The severe metabolic and respiratory acidosis seen here suggests the involvement of a primary cardiovascular mechanism in this model of prolonged EID exposure, and clinically significant acid-base and cardiovascular disturbances were clearly seen.
Journal ArticleDOI
TASER X26 discharges in swine produce potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias.
Robert J. Walter,Andrew Dennis,Daniel J. Valentino,Bosko Margeta,Kimberly K. Nagy,Faran Bokhari,Dorion Wiley,Kimberly Joseph,Roxanne R. Roberts +8 more
TL;DR: In the absence of systemic acidosis, lengthy transcardiac TASER X26 discharges captured myocardial rhythm, potentially resulting in VT or VF in swine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acidosis and Catecholamine Evaluation Following Simulated Law Enforcement ''Use of Force'' Encounters
Jeffrey D. Ho,Donald M. Dawes,Rebecca S. Nelson,Erik J. Lundin,Frank J. Ryan,Kenneth G. Overton,Adam J. Zeiders,James R. Miner +7 more
TL;DR: The simulations of physical resistance and fleeing on foot led to the greatest changes in markers of acidosis and catecholamines, which may be contributing or causal mechanisms in sudden custodial arrest-related deaths (ARDs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Less lethal technology: medical issues
Gary M. Vilke,Theodore C. Chan +1 more
TL;DR: The paper focuses on the issue of sudden in‐custody death and less lethal weapons, reviewing case reports, animal research and human investigative studies on this topic.

Journal ArticleDOI
60 Hz ventricular fibrillation and rhythm thresholds and the nonpacing intracardiac catheter.
TL;DR: Fibrillation and rhythm disturbance thresholds obtained from saline-filled intracardiac catheters are presented and the effect of catheter cross-sectional area on threshold determination is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of short-duration transients on cardiac rhythm
TL;DR: Cardiac stimulation thresholds of short-duration large-amplitude electrical transients indicated that, for transients shorter than 100 μs, stimulation thresholds approach a constant charge-transfer density of 3·4 μC cm−2.
Journal ArticleDOI
60 Hz ventricular fibrillation thresholds for large-surface-area electrodes.
TL;DR: The results show that, for large-area electrodes, fibrillation thresholds are determined by current density, and the thresholds approach a constant value of 3·5 μA mm−2.
