Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1988
Pacemaker technology has become much more complex in the last ten years. Transcutaneous pacemakers now allow rapid institution of cardiac pacing in the Emergency Department and in the prehospital setting. Permanent pacemakers frequently have dual-chamber pacing and sensing capability as well as multiple programmable modes of operation.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1979
The basic electrophysiology of temporary and permanent cardiac pacing is reviewed, as are the indications, the types of pacing systems, and the methods of implantation. Recent developments in power sources and leads are described. The mercury-zinc battery is now obsolete and is being replaced by lithium, rechargeable, and isotopic power systems.

The American Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, 2006
Sinus node disease and atrioventricular block are common etiologies of symptomatic bradyarrhythmias in the elderly and remain the leading indications for permanent pacemaker implantation. In fact, the vast majority (>80%) of all pacemakers are implanted in the elderly.

The patient with a permanent pacemaker faces significant lifetime medical expenses. The financial records of 15 patients with more than 4 years' (average 73 months) of cardiac pacing were reviewed to establish the basic cost of pacing. Each pacemaker was electively replaced after 24 months of service.

Critical Care Medicine, 1991
The use of temporary cardiac pacing in critical care and stepdown units has grown tremendously over the past 10 years. While the concept of artificial pacing is simple, improvements in generator technology and lead design, along with broader clinical applications, have made temporary cardiac pacing more complex. Consequently, the critical care nurse is

Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice, 2000
Transvenous pacing therapy is a life-saving technique for patients with clinically significant bradyarrhythmias. For most symptomatic bradyarrhythmias in small animals, there is no effective substitute for cardiac pacing. The methods employed for pacemaker placement, although potentially time-consuming, are not technically difficult.

Proceedings of the IEEE, 1996
On the surface, the cardiac pacing lead is just a simple cable that connects the pulse generator to the heart. The simple appearance of the lead is very misleading, however. The size, longevity, and features of the pulse generator and the patient's safety depend to a large extent on the performance of the lead.

This discussion reviews and critiques the available emergency pacing methods for the control of symptomatic bradycardias and the management of tachyarrhythmias. In addition, attention is addressed to the emergency care of patients with permanent pacemakers.

Transesophageal cardiac pacing
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1969Abstract Our initial clinical experience with human transesophageal pacing is described. We were successful in pacing the heart of this patient at a fixed rate for 36 hours and on demand pacing for 24 additional hours, with no significant adverse effects to the esophagus.

Cardiac pacing may be used for emergency control of atria1 and ventricular tachyarrhythmias and bradyrhythmias, such as symptomatic sinus bradycardia or atrioventricular block, and it may be used for prophylaxis in patients with myocardial infarction or during pulmonary artery catheter placement.
