Implantable Pacemakers in Children
Archives of Surgery, 1975Permanent pacemakers were implanted in 12 children, ages 2 weeks to 6 years. The cause of the arrhythmia was congenital in three, postoperative in six, viral in one, and unknown in two. One operative death occurred on the second postoperative day. Two late deaths occurred five and 10-1/2 years postoperatively. The late deaths were in patients with good

Update on Implantable Pacemakers
The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2005There are currently more than 3 million patients worldwide with implanted pacemakers, and indications for implants are expanding. Pacemakers today are smaller (23-30 g) and fashioned in a more physiologic shape so as to be less obtrusive. They are replete with sophisticated diagnostic and programming features that make troubleshooting of complicated ...

Patient and Pacemaker Survival after Pacemaker Implantation
Chest, 1970One hundred thirty patients have had 244 pacemakers of five types implanted at Presbyterian-St. Lake's Hospital in the past eight years. There has been a 0.50 probability of successful unit function at only 12 months with epicardial units. All transvenous units used have had a 0.50 probability of unit success at more than 17 months. This fact, combined

Follow-up of implanted pacemakers
American Heart Journal, 1974Summary A waveform analysis clinic augmented by telephone transmission of pacemaker interval in the late stages of pacemaker life will yield a considerable amount of information and will permit elective replacement of pacemakers in about 90 per cent of cases. The clinic has an advantage over other surveillance systems in the accuracy of the diagnosis,

1978
The implantation of a pacemaker involves the introduction of a foreign body made of metal, synthetic rubber and artificial resin into the human body. Bacterial contamination may have serious and potentially fatal consequences so that it is essential that the operation is undertaken under strict aseptic conditions (Plate XVI, p 51) and as quickly as ...

Performance of Implanted Biogalvanic Pacemakers*
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1978Seventeen unipolar cardiac pacemakers powered by hybrid biogalvanic cells were implanted in dogs. Long term clinical effects and electrical performance in vivo of the generators were investigated. The biogalvanic cells were designed to provide 50 years of generator operation.No systemic pathological changes which would be attributed to the generator or

Psychological Aspects of Pacemaker Implantation
Archives of General Psychiatry, 1970THE implantation of a cardiac pacemaker is a procedure of dramatic importance to the patient, but an operation so commonplace that is is considered routine by the medical staff. Although external electrodes were used in 1952 to pace the heart, 1 it was only in 1957 that the technique of internal implantation in the myocardium was developed.

Pacemaker implantation in the extreme elderly
Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, 2011There are scant data for pacemaker implant complications and readmission rates in the extreme elderly (age ≥80 years) despite their common use in this population.This is a retrospective chart review of consecutive patients (n = 149, age ≥80 years) who underwent pacemaker implantation at a community hospital electrophysiology program from July 2008 ...

The design of an implantable cardiac pacemaker
Medical & Biological Engineering, 1966The quoted life of pacemakers available commercially is from 2–5 yr. Experience with these units has shown that their life has not been more than 12–14 months and in some cases has been as low as 7 months. If assessment of the pacemaker's electrical condition is to be made after implant, any tests used must be based on the measurement of output ...
