Anaesthetic management of patients with cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators for noncardiac surgery.
P with cardiac disease presenting for noncardiac surgery pose a considerable challenge to the anesthesiologists. With the availability of better medical facility and sophisticated diagnostic methods, many patients especially of the elderly age group, are detected to have electrophysiological disorders. Pacemakers are being used with greater frequency for both conduction and arrhythmia problems ...
متن کاملTroubleshooting 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 کاملthe national survey of cardiac pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators
background: permanent pacemakers provide effective relief of symptoms and are life-saving in patients with symptomatic heart block. implantable cardioverter defibrillators (icd) are also increasingly recognized as life-saving tools in various groups of patients with malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias. methods: as part of the “world survey on pacemaker and icd implantations”, a survey of all...
متن کاملImpact of EAS Systems on Implanted Cardiac Pacemakers and Defibrillators
To investigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) of electromagnetic fields (EMF) from electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems with electronic implants numerical anatomical models of pacemaker patients were generated accounting for different implantation sites (left pectoral, right pectoral and abdominal) and body size. Induced interference voltages were calculated with a software package...
