Basic recommendations
Hole in bellow leads to
Hyperventilating or barotrauma
Bipolar cautery better if patient has
Aicd
Need to reprogram pacemaker prior to surgery if surgery above
Unbilivus to asynchronous mode
Transcutaneous pacing
Must sedate patient if awake it is very uncomfortable
Dial up amplitude until capture
Want trans venous pacing which is better
Recs for pacemaker aicd
Identify device Review interrogation report Battery life and lead function Dependence Magnet response Consider needs fir reprogramming vs magnet Always have magnet available Consider need for transcutaneous pacing
Electrolyte abnormalities like hypocarbia can cause pacemaker to stop
