Less-lethal weapons and tactics are being increasingly used by law enforcement to minimize the reliance on more-lethal force. While these methods are designated as "less-lethal," they can cause morbidity and mortality when deployed. Knowledge of these weapons and tactics can help direct the workup and management of patients with injuries from these methods and can protect clinicians from secondary exposure and injuries. This issue reviews the most common less-lethal weapons and tactics used by law enforcement, describes their mechanism of action, and discusses associated common injury patterns. Recommendations are provided for the evaluation and management of these patients in the emergency department.
非致命性武器和战术正越来越多地被执法部门用于减少对致命性武力的依赖。虽然这些方法被指定为“非致命性”，但在使用时仍可能导致发病和死亡。了解这些武器和战术可以帮助指导对这些方法造成的损伤的患者的检查和管理，并可以保护临床医生免受二次暴露和损伤。本专题回顾了执法部门最常使用的非致命性武器和战术，描述了它们的作用机制，并讨论了相关的常见损伤模式。为急诊科这些患者的评估和管理提供了建议。
