Several animal studies have shown that the TASER X26 (TASER International, Scottsdale, Ariz) conducted electrical weapon can electrically capture the myocardium when discharged on the thorax. These results have not been reproduced in human echocardiographic studies. A primary limitation of those human studies is that the TASER device was connected by taping the wires into conductive gel on the skin surface of the thorax. This study overcomes those limitations. In this study, a training instructor discharged a TASER X26 into the chests of 10 subjects from a distance of 7 ft so that a 5-second discharge could be administered through the probes as in field exposures. Limited echocardiography was performed before, during, and after discharge. In agreement with 2 prior studies by these authors, the TASER X26 did not electrically capture the human myocardium when used with probe deployment. These data are contrary to animal studies in which capture occurred.
几项动物研究表明，泰瑟 X26（TASER International，斯科茨代尔，亚利桑那州）发射的电击枪在胸部放电时可以电击捕获心肌。这些结果在人类超声心动图研究中并未重现。这些人类研究的主要局限性在于，泰瑟设备通过将电线粘贴到胸部皮肤表面的导电凝胶上来连接。本研究克服了这些局限性。在这项研究中，一名训练有素的指导员从 7 英尺的距离向 10 名受试者的胸部放电，以便通过探头进行 5 秒的放电，就像在野外暴露一样。在放电前、放电中和放电后进行了有限的超声心动图检查。与作者之前的两项研究一致，当使用探头部署时，泰瑟 X26 不会电击捕获人类心肌。这些数据与动物研究结果相反，动物研究中发生了捕获。
