Troubleshooting pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to provide an update on stored diagnostic information furnished by new model pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). This information provides crucial information about both device function and arrhythmias discovered with device interrogation and is invaluable when troubleshooting problems with devices. RECENT FINDINGS The...
متن کاملPacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators--general and anesthetic considerations.
A pacemaking system consists of an impulse generator and lead or leads to carry the electrical impulse to the patient's heart. Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator codes were made to describe the type of pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator implanted. Indications for pacing and implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation were given by the American College ...
متن کاملDriving restrictions in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators and pacemakers
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) improve the survival in patients at risk of sudden cardiac death. However, these patients have an ongoing risk of sudden incapacitation that may cause harm to individuals and others when driving. Considerable disagreement exists about whether and when these patients should be allowed to resume driving after ICD therapies. This information is critic...
متن کاملInteractions between electronic article surveillance systems and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
BACKGROUND In patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). inappropriate shocks have been reported with exposure to electronic article surveillance systems. The risk to patients with ICDs of walking through or lingering near surveillance systems requires further investigation. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated the response in ICD function in 170 subjects during a 10- to 15-sec...
متن کاملShould implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and permanent pacemakers in patients with terminal illness be deactivated? Deactivating Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators and Permanent Pacemakers in Patients With Terminal Illness
The recently published 2008 Guidelines for Device-Based Therapy of Cardiac Rhythm Abnormalities1 include a discussion of ethical issues surrounding the deactivation of pacemakers, implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICDs), and CRT devices in patients who are terminally ill. The authors rightly note that most clinicians make an ethical distinction between deactivating an ICD and deactivating a...
