Background
Indications
- Bradyarrythmias causing hemodynamic impairment:[1]
- Tachyarrhythmias causing hemodynamic impairment[1]
Procedure
- Pad placement:
- Pad on apex of heart and on right upper chest
- Pad on lead V3 position and between left scapula and T-spine
- Set: HR 80, pacing threshold usually between 40-80 mA
- Look for clear QRS complex and T-wave following pacer spike
- Check pulse to confirm mechanical capture
- Final current set 5-10 mA above threshold level for patient
