artificial Pacemaker

Artificial cardiac pacemaker : Review of normal conduction of heart, technology of pacemakers, newest researches, latest technologies, types of cardiac pacemakers

1. TYPES OF PACING

2. Percussive pacing A lso known as transthoracic mechanical pacing, is the use of the closed fist, usually on the left lower edge of the sternum over the right ventricle in the vena cava, striking from a distance of 20 – 30 cm to induce a ventricular beat (the British Journal of Anaesthesia suggests this must be done to raise the ventricular pressure to 10–15 mmHg to induce electrical activity). This is an old procedure used only as a life saving means until an electrical pacemaker is brought to the patient

3. TRANSCUTANEOUS PACING

4. TEMPORARY TRANSVENOUS PACEMAKER

5. BITRICULAR PACING (CRT)

6. LEADLESS PACEMAKERS

7. Wireless, Automated Pacemaker Monitoring

8. NURSING DIAGNOSES Ineffective cardiopulmonary tissue perfusion related to heart block as evidenced by decreased blood pressure Impaired skin integrity related to pacemaker insertion as evidenced by disruption of skin tissue. Risk for injury related to pacemaker failure

9. Risk for Infection related to invasive procedure. Disturbed body image related to the presence of pulse generator and battery as evidenced by negative feeling about body.
