Q

What type of pacemaker should be used for this patient?

–Atrial? Ventricular? Or dual chamber (atrial + ventricular)?

A

Ventricular

Because constant atrial activity would not allow the pacemaker to pace if it were only in atria

Q

Preventing Accidental Shock From An ICD During Surgery (2)

A
  1. One way to prevent accidental shock from an ICD during surgery is to disable the shock function of the ICD
    –A pacemaker rep can do this by reprogramming the ICD prior to surgery, but the most common way we do this is to place a magnet over the ICD in the OR
  2. The second way to prevent accidental shock from an ICD during surgery is to keep electrical current (i.e. cautery) away from the ICD
    –One way to do this is to place the grounding plate as far away from the ICD as possible (at least 15cm)
    –The other way to do this is for the surgeon to use an alternative to unipolar cautery (like bipolar cautery or a harmonic scalpel)

Q

Clinical Management Of ICDs (2)

55
Q
A

No shock. Bradycardia/possible asystole

  1. Put a magnet on
  2. Bipolar cautery or harmonic scapel

Q

How often should pacemakers and ICDs be checked?

Q

Preop Management of CIEDs

59
Q

What Anesthesia Should Know Preop (6)

A
  1. What type of device are we dealing with ? (pacemaker vs. ICD)
  2. What is the programmability of the device? (i.e., VOO, etc)
  3. What is the underlying rhythm? (why was the pacemaker placed?)
  4. Is the patient is pacemaker dependent?
  5. Does the pacemaker have rate modulation?
  6. Does the pacemaker capture effectively?
  7. What is the magnet response?
  8. Is there adequate battery life? (> 3-6 months)
  9. What are the manufacturer’s perioperative recommendations?
60
Q

Intraoperative Management

Postop

62
Q

CIED Algorithm

63
Q
A

Yes she is pacemaker dependent.

  1. Call rep or put pacing pads on
  2. Bipolar cautery or harmonic scapel
  3. Transcutaneous pacing

Nothing, it will stop pacing and causing bradycardia or asystole

64
Q
A

No he is not pacemaker dependent

Magnet placement will convert the pacemaker into asynchronous mode and increase HR

No a magnet should not be placed on this patient

Zero effect of cautery on his heart rate

65
Q
A

Not required but dependent on the provider

Magnet placement would disable the shock function

66
Q
A

Magnet placement will disable shock function and will not change EKG and still in demand mode

Yes, a magnet should be placed

67
Q
A

Place magnet

Q
A

Rep needs to activate asynchronous mode

Q
