Predictors of temporary epicardial pacing wires use after valve surgery
BACKGROUND Although temporary cardiac pacing is infrequently needed, temporary epicardial pacing wires are routinely inserted after valve surgery. As they are associated with infrequent, but life threatening complications, and the decreased need for postoperative pacing in a group of low risk patients; this study aims to identify the predictors of temporary cardiac pacing after valve surgery. ...
متن کاملPermanent and temporary pacemaker implantation after orthotopic heart transplantation.
PURPOSE:To determine the indication for and incidence and evolution of temporary and permanent pacemaker implantation in cardiac transplant recipients. METHODS: A retrospective review of 114 patients who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation InCor (Heart Institute USP BR) between March 1985 and May 1993. We studied the incidence of and indication for temporary pacing, the relationship betw...
متن کاملTemporary epicardial pacing after cardiac surgery: a practical review: part 1: general considerations in the management of epicardial pacing.
Epicardial wires allow temporary pacing after cardiac surgery. Pacing is often the best, and sometimes the only method of treating temporary rhythm disturbances in this context. Temporary epicardial pacing has evolved from simple one-chamber systems to dual chamber, biatrial, and even biventricular systems. The first part of this two-part review provides an overview of the management of tempora...
متن کاملDrug overdoses requiring temporary cardiac pacing; a study of six cases treated at Altnagelvin Hospital, Londonderry.
Drug overdoses in general are increasing and overdoses of cardiac medications are also increasing; some are associated with a high mortality. Temporary cardiac pacing has a valuable role in cases of hypotension related to dysrhythmia, or when it is necessary to provide overdrive pacing. However, despite technically successful and uncomplicated pacemaker insertion and restoration of cardiac elec...
متن کاملOptimized temporary bi-ventricular pacing improves haemodynamic function after on-pump cardiac surgery in patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction: a two-centre randomized control trial
OBJECTIVES Optimized temporary bi-ventricular (BiV) pacing may benefit heart failure patients after on-pump cardiac surgery compared with conventional dual-chamber right ventricular (RV) pacing. An improvement in haemodynamic function with BiV pacing may reduce the duration of 'Level 3' intensive care. METHODS Thirty-eight patients in sinus rhythm, ejection fraction ≤35%, undergoing on-pump s...
متن کاملTemporary cardiac pacing via the oesophagus.
Introduction Temporary transvenous pacing is routinely used for patients with drug-resistant symptomatic bradycardia complicating acute myocardial infarction. The technique requires skill and facilities which are not always immediately available in district general hospitals. Temporary pacing using an oesophageal electrode is a simple and effective alternative as illustrated by the following ca...
