Sudden pacemaker failure.
Two cases of sudden pacemaker failure due to fractured wires supplying power to the generator are described. Both devices were Kappa KD703 (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) implanted in a prepectoral subcutaneous pocket. In 2002, Medtronic issued an advisory regarding Kappa 700/600 devices. A number of these devices, all subpectoral implants, had presented with intermittent or no output du...
متن کاملEmergency Management of Pacemaker Failure
The purpose of this report is to describe the more common problems encountered with permanent pacemakers and their management. One of the serious recurring problems is loss of output from the pacemaker. As a result, no pacemaker impulse whatsoever is seen on the electrocardiogram and the heart rate appears slower than the fixed rate of the pacemaker. In such a situation, if a patient is pacemak...
متن کاملInduction of general anaesthesia with intraosseous injection of thiopental in rabbits
The technique of intraosseous (IO) infusion has been reemerged as an alternative route of intravascular access for the delivery of fluids and some medications. Complications of IO infusion occur rarely and include fractures and osteomyelitis after long-term use of IO access. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of induction of anaesthesia by a standard intravenous route and a...
متن کاملAnaesthesia and Heart Failure
The following true/false questions may be attempted before reading the tutorial. The answers are given at the end of the text. 1. In the normal heart: a. Pre-load is the same as left ventricular end-diastolic volume b. Increase in pre-load has no effect on the force of the next contraction c. Systemic vasoconstriction reduces afterload d. Isovolumetric ventricular contraction ends when the aort...
متن کاملPacemaker Failure following External Defibrillation
Schematic diagram of an alternate possible mechanism in the Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome. The impulse from the sinoatrial node (SAN) arrives either via the posterior internodal tract (PIT) or the normal tract to the atrioventricular node (AVN) at a His-Purkinje junction (LAMBDA) distal to the recording site of the His electrode. Retrograde depolarization of the proximal, and antegrade depolariza...
