Occupational health risk with regard to training exercises is a relatively under studied domain for law enforcement officers. One potential health risk is exposure to electronic control devices (ECDs).
Seven different training facilities in six states participated. Law enforcement trainees (N = 118) were exposed to Taser International's (Scottsdale, AZ) X26 for up to 5 seconds.
There was no evidence of cardiac or skeletal muscle breakdown. Exposure did not adversely affect electrocardiogram (ECG) morphology obtained 24 hours after exposure in 99 trainees. For two trainees with preexisting ECG abnormalities, ECG morphology differed in the post-ECD samples.
The results from this large, multisite study suggest that, for most trainees, ECD exposure does not represent a significant health risk. Further investigation is warranted for cardiac vulnerability and potential interactions with ECD exposure.
对于执法人员来说，培训练习中的职业健康风险是一个相对研究不足的领域。潜在的健康风险之一是接触电子控制设备（ECD）。
六个州的七个不同培训设施参与了研究。执法学员（N=118）暴露于 Taser International（斯科茨代尔，亚利桑那州）的 X26 设备下，时间长达 5 秒。
没有证据表明存在心脏或骨骼肌损伤。在 99 名学员中，暴露后 24 小时获得的心电图（ECG）形态没有受到不利影响。对于两名存在先前 ECG 异常的学员，ECG 形态在 ECD 样本后有所不同。
这项大型多地点研究的结果表明，对于大多数学员来说，ECD 暴露并不代表重大健康风险。需要进一步调查心脏脆弱性和潜在的与 ECD 暴露的相互作用。
