Q

What is Oversensing? SENSEOr Failure to PACE?
Undersensing? SENSE failure
Failure to capture? PACING Failure
failure to output? PACING Failure

A
  • mistakes a fib, tremor, physical actvitiy for cardiac activity and doesn’t fire when it should. syncope. dropped beats
  • spikes in the middle of QRS or after (some spikes with QRS some without). doesn’t sense native cardiac activity=asynchromnous pacing

Capture- pacer stimulus doesnt lead to myocardial contractions - from MI maybe

output failure- not generated when it should

DIC: secondary. too much thrombin. consumes factors to make bleeding, but in prothombotic state bc of thrombin, finbrinlysis also in play. D imer up, fibrinogen down, plates down, coags ups. No specific transfusion threshold, you CAN transfuse if bleeding or need procedure. give cryo 10 units if fibrinogen <150, transfuse if getting worse.

d Dimer is product of to fibrin vlots arc welded by factr 13 and fibrninlysis.
thrombin ceanes to make fibrin clot!
