Transcutaneous cardiac pacing :external pacemaker Transcutaneous cardiac pacing has emerged as the preeminent initial mode of cardiac pacing for brady-asystolic arrest situations and prophylactic pacing application Transcutaneous cardiac pacing produces depolarization of myocardial tissue by pulsed electrical current conducted through the chest between electrodes adherent to the skin Coughing and discomfort from cutaneous nerve and skelectal muscle stimulation are the most frequent problems.

Transvenous cardiac pacing Transvenous pacing provides the consistent and reliable means of temporary cardiac pacing in clinical practice. Transvenous pacing uses intravenous catheter electrodes to stimulate atrial or ventriclar myocardial tissue directly with electrical current pulses provides by an external generator. Decisions regarding the site of venous access for pacing should take into consideration the urgency to initiate pacing, desired lead stability, need to avoid specific complication, and anticipated duration of pacing.
Insertion site Without fluoroscopy : external jugular vein, brachial vein With fluoroscopy : cephalic vein, internal jugular vein, subclavian vein Femoral vein : risk of thrombosis, phlebitis, and infection
Epicardial pacing Transthoracic pacing is possible using temporary pacing wires passively fixed to the atrial and ventricular epicardium at the time of cardiac surgery or thoracotomy. They are exposed through the skin in the subxiphoid region. Transesophageal pacing The anatomic proximity of the esophagus to the posterior left atrium makes transesophageal atrial pacing possible in nearly all patients. The technique is relatively noninvasive and virtually free of serious complication.

Rate and Output Adjustments Rate Dial Atrial Output Dial Ventricular Output Dial
1. Set RATE at least 10 ppm above patient s intrinsic rate. 2. Decrease OUTPUT: Slowly turn OUTPUT dial counterclockwise until ECG shows loss of capture. 3. Increase OUTPUT: Slowly turn OUTPUT dial clockwise until ECG shows consistent capture. This value is the stimulation threshold. 4. Set OUTPUT to a value 2 to 3 times greater than the stimulation threshold value. This provides at least a 2:1 safety margin. 5. Restore RATE and OUTPUT to previous values.
Sensitivity Adjustments
Sensitivity (mv) 5 (mv) 2.5 (mv) 1.25 (mv) Sensitivity settings : at least a 2:1 safety margin
1. Set rate at least 10 ppm below patient s intrinsic rate. 2. Adjust output: Set OUTPUT to 0.1 ma (A OUTPUT for atrial threshold; V OUTPUT for ventricular threshold). 3. Highlight SENSITIVITY (atrial or ventricular) (Menu 1). 4. Decrease SENSITIVITY: Slowly turn MENU PARAMETER dial counterclockwise until pace indicator flashes continuously. 5. Increase SENSITIVITY: Slowly turn MENU PARAMETER dial clockwise until sense indicator flashes and pace indicator stops flashing. This value is the sensing threshold. 6. Set SENSITIVITY to half (or less) the threshold value. This provides at least a 2:1 safety margin. 7. Restore RATE and OUTPUT to previous values.
