ABSTRACT
Objectives: The Taser device delivers sustained high-voltage electricity and is now used as a "less-lethal" weapon by approximately one third of U.S. law enforcement agencies. Although generally regarded as safe, there are no prospective human studies of the Taser despite well-publicized reports of sudden death in association with their use. We sought to evaluate for rhythm changes utilizing cardiac monitoring during deployment of the Taser on healthy human volunteers.
