Elektroşok Cihazı Uygulanması ve Düşme Sonrası Gelişen Kafa İçi Kanamanın İlliyet Bağı Yönünden Değerlendirilmesi: Olgu Sunumu
Özet
Elektroşok savunma aletleri (Tasers stun guns) kontrol edilmesi güç ve agresif kişileri durdurmak için savunma amacıyla sık kullanılan, kişinin iskelet kasları üzerinde nöromusküler blokaj ile musküler kontraksiyon oluşturarak etki gösteren ve ülkemizde illegal kullanımı giderek artan savunma aletleridir. Teorik olarak bu cihazların kullanımında mortalite oranı düşük olarak görülse de elektriğin yaratmış olduğu travmatik düşmeler sonucunda oluşan yaralanmalar veya kardiak disritmiler ölüm oranını artırmaktadır. Olgumuzda elektroşok aleti kullanımına bağlı düşme öyküsü olan ve sol kolda tasers gun kullanımına bağlı yanık saptanan, düşme sonucu kafasını çarpma sonrasında sürekli baş ağrıları olması nedeniyle yapılan tetkiklerinde subdural hematom saptanarak opere edilen kişide oluşan kafa içi kanamanın elektroşok aletine bağlı olup olmadığı yönünden değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.
Tasers-stun guns, illegal using gradually increases in our country, are defensive devices that often used with defensive purpose to defend aggressive persons who are difficult to control, shows effects by creating neuromuscular blockage and muscular contraction on the skeletal muscles of the person. Theoretically, even the using of these devices seems to have a low mortality rate, but mortal injuries or cardiac dysrhythmias, which can occur as a result of traumatic falls that are caused by electricity, increase the mortality rate. In our case, it is aimed, in terms of forensic evaluation, whether the person, having a falling case based on tasers-stun guns utilisation and being detected burnt on the left arm based on tasers-stun guns utilization, was operated determining subdural hematoma in the committed examination due to having sustained headache in reaction to falling and as a result of hitting his head to determine whether intracranial hemorrhage is occur to tasers-stun guns utilization or not.
