Pain during cardiac implantable electronic device implantation

British Journal of Cardiology, 2021
In order to evaluate the extent and causes of pain during cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation in our hospital, a prospective audit over a 23-month period using a patient selfreporting questionnaire was undertaken. In total, 599 procedures were reported, 52.9% for de novo pacemaker implantation and 23.4% for high-energy devices ...
