The TASER is a conducted electricity device currently being introduced to the Australian and New Zealand police forces as an alternative to firearms in dealing with violent and dangerous individuals. It incapacitates the subject by delivering rapid pulses of electricity causing involuntary muscle contraction and pain. The use of this device might lead to cardiovascular, respiratory, biochemical, obstetric, ocular and traumatic sequelae. This article will summarize the current literature and propose assessment and management recommendations to guide emergency physicians who will be required to review these patients.
泰瑟枪是一种传导性电击装置，目前正被引入澳大利亚和新西兰警方，作为在对付暴力危险人员时替代枪支的手段。它通过传递快速电脉冲使对象丧失行动能力，导致非自主性肌肉收缩和疼痛。使用该装置可能会引发心血管、呼吸、生化、产科、眼部及创伤后遗症。本文将总结当前文献，并提出评估和管理建议，以指导需要诊治这些患者的急诊医生。
