Study Notes
Vascular Neck Restraints
- Only use when deadly force authorized, per policy recommendations
- Compresses veins and arteries in the neck, causing brief loss of consciousness
- Not a chokehold; chokeholds involve intentional, prolonged restriction of air
- Defined as applying force to the throat, windpipe, or airway to prevent air intake
- Not for use on elderly, pregnant people, children, or those with disabilities
- High probability of effectiveness in controlling resistant subjects
- Potentially dangerous and deadly if not applied correctly
- Many agencies restrict use
- Research suggests safe and useable in the general population when used properly
- Correct application involves:
- Encircle subject's neck with right arm, equal pressure, elbow in front of throat
- With right hand palm down, left palm up, grabbing hands
- Right wrist to shoulder, equal pressure on sides of neck
- Stabilize subject's head with head
- Compress neck until compliance or unconsciousness (unconsciousness within 10 seconds possible)
- Follow up with appropriate action(s)
- Releasing hold quickly restores blood flow, subject regains consciousness (within ~30 seconds)
- Must follow up with appropriate actions
- Render medical aid if consciousness not regained quickly
- Verbal commands to be used throughout the application
