So following on from our Bradycardia episode, we’re going to look in detail at cardiac pacing.
Setting up emergency pacing in those compromised bradycardia patients can make a significant difference to patient outcomes, and doing so in a timely and slick fashion can be a real challenge.
In this episode we’ll be discussing all forms of pacing, strategies for ensuring the greatest likelihood of success and the details of setup and analgesia/sedation strategies for external pacing.
Once again we’d love to hear any comments or questions either via the website or social media.
Enjoy!
