INTERFERENCE WITH CARDIAC PACING

Cardiology Clinics, 2000
Most exposures to electromagnetic interference are transient and pose no threat to patients with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators. Prolonged exposure may be catastrophic in pacemaker dependent patients. New technologies (wireless phones, electronic antitheft surveillance) are safe if proper precautions are takes.

Intracavitary Cardiac Pacing

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1966
Complications developed in four patients with heart block managed by permanent transvenous cardiac pacemaking; the complications were penetration and perforation of the right ventricle, fracture of the catheter electrode, and pacemaker-induced ventricular tachycardia-fibrillation.

Cardiac Pacing in Children [PDF]

open access: possibleAACN Advanced Critical Care, 1991
Advances in pacemaker technology over the last 25 years have made cardiac pacing in infants and children a safe and practical therapy. Some of the technical challenges encountered with the first permanent pacemaker implantation in children during the early 1960s have been solved with miniaturized generators, lithium batteries, noninvasive ...

Cardiac Pacing and Defibrillation Devices: Cost and Effectiveness.

Annual Review of Medicine, 2017
Implantable cardiac pacing and defibrillation devices are effective and commonly used therapies for patients with cardiac rhythm disorders. Because device implantation is not easily reversible, as well as the high healthcare costs inherent in device use,

Cardiac Pacing in the 1980s

New England Journal of Medicine, 1984
MORE than 500,000 patients in the United States live with the aid of a permanent cardiac pacing system to ensure a dependable cardiac rhythm, and this year another 100,000 will undergo pacemaker implantation.1 Now in its third decade, the field of cardiac pacing has undergone tremendous technological growth and development.2 , 3 Newer microchip ...

Emergency cardiac pacing

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1993
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.

Cardiac Pacing in the Elderly

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.

Transcutaneous Cardiac Pacing

AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1991
Pacemaker technology has experienced many advances. Today temporary pacing can be provided in several ways. This chapter examines one of these modalities, transcutaneous noninvasive pacing. In addition, this chapter reviews relevant historic milestones, describe transcutaneous pacing, state procedural aspects, and delineate important nursing aspects of

Cost of cardiac pacing

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1976
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.
