Taser safety issues (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

Taser safety issues relate to the lethality of the Taser. The TASER device is a less-lethal, not non-lethal, weapon, since the possibility of serious injury or death exists whenever the weapon is deployed. It is a brand of conducted electroshock weapon sold by Axon, formerly TASER International. Axon has identified increased risk in repeated, extended, or continuous exposure to the weapon; the Police Executive Research Forum says that total exposure should not exceed 15 seconds.

dbo:abstract Taser safety issues relate to the lethality of the Taser. The TASER device is a less-lethal, not non-lethal, weapon, since the possibility of serious injury or death exists whenever the weapon is deployed. It is a brand of conducted electroshock weapon sold by Axon, formerly TASER International. Axon has identified increased risk in repeated, extended, or continuous exposure to the weapon; the Police Executive Research Forum says that total exposure should not exceed 15 seconds. A 2012 study published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation found that Tasers can cause "ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac arrest and even death." At least 49 people died in 2018 in the US after being shocked by police with a Taser. Medical conditions or use of illegal drugs can significantly heighten such risk for subjects in an at-risk category. In some cases however, death occurred after Taser use coupled with the use of force alone, such as positional asphyxiation, with no evidence of underlying medical condition and no use of drugs. (en) I Taser possono causare aritmia cardiaca in soggetti sani. I soggetti con una frequenza cardiaca elevata associata all'uso di droghe e sforzi fisici prolungati sono particolarmente predisposti a soffrire di arresto cardiaco e, se non trattati immediatamente, di morte improvvisa. La possibilità che un Taser provochi un arresto cardiaco ha portato molti reparti a dotare ogni agente di polizia di un defibrillatore automatico esterno (AED). Le condizioni mediche o l'uso di droghe possono aumentare significativamente tale rischio per i soggetti in una categoria a rischio. In alcuni casi, tuttavia, la morte si è verificata dopo l'uso di Taser in combinazione con l'uso della sola forza, come nei casi di asfissia posizionale, senza evidenza di condizioni mediche di base e nessun uso di droghe.
