Screening Guidelines
ASA
Screening Guidelines
ACC/AHA (2007)
“High-grade cardiac conduction abnormalities, such as
complete atrioventricular block, if unanticipated, can
increase operative risk and may necessitate temporary or
permanent transvenous pacing. On the other hand,
patients with intra- ventricular conduction delays, even
in the presence of a left or right bundle-branch block,
and no history of advanced heart block or symptoms
rarely progress to complete heart block perioperatively.”
3
• Circulation 1978
– 44 patients undergoing
52 operations
– 6 temporary
pacemakers (TV)
placed due to PR
prolongation on
preoperative EKG
– 1 episode of transient
CHB observed
– 2/6 with TV
pacemaker had
ventricular irritability
4
• Retrospective study of patients with
– Prolonged PR interval >0.2s PLUS
– RBBB and LAHB (left anterior hemiblock) OR LBBB
• 76 patients underwent general, local, or spinal
anesthetic
• Group 1 (RBBB and LAHB)
– 1 patient with sinus bradycardia responsive to atropine
• Group 2 (LBBB)
– 3 patients with sinus bradycardia responsive to atropine
– 3 patients with prophylactic TV pacemaker inserted preoperatively, none of which were utilized
• Conclusion: risk>benefit of placing TV pacer
5
• Prospective study at University of Ulm, Germany
• Aim: to determine whether presence of 1st degree AV
block increases risk of progression to CHB
• 103 patients with bifascicular or LBBB
– Group 1: 56 patients without AV prolongation
– Group 2: 47 patients with AV prolongation
• Operations under general or regional anesthesia
• Primary endpoint: progression to Mobitz Type II or CHB
• Secondary endpoint: asystole >5s or severe bradycardia
(<40 bpm) with hemodynamic compromise
6
Results
• Group 1
– Two patients progressed to Wenkebach
– Three patients had asystole >5 seconds
• One progressed to cardiac arrest and was resuscitated
• Group 2
– Four patients with HR <40 bpm and hemodynamic
compromise
• All responsive to atropine
• Conclusions: progression is rare
– Patients with pre-existing CAD more at risk
• Retrospective review of >34,000 cases
• 279 patients had complete RBBB
– 70/279 had complete RBBB with left or right AD
• Results
– 1 patient progressed to CHB
– On-pump CABG
• Conclusion: prophylactic placement of gel pads is
not cost-effective
7
• Prospective study
– Enrollment criteria: asymptomatic
bifascicular block OR left bundle branch
block
– Concurrent 1st degree AV block
• Preoperative pacing pads
– Increased milliamperes until capture
obtained
– Scored patient’s pain level
8
Results
• 37/39 patients successfully paced
– Two patients did not have capture at 120mA
– One patient required
• 5mg midazolam
• 300mcg fentanyl
• Assistance with ventilation
– Could not increased further due to patient
discomfort
– 92% reported moderate to intolerable
discomfort
• No block progression in any patients
Atropine
•
•
•
•
•
•
Anticholinergic (parasympatholytic)
Useful for symptomatic bradycardia
Increases SA nodal rate and automaticity
Increased induction via AV node
Dose 0.5-1.0mg q3-5 minutes
Not helpful in 2nd degree Type II block
(Mobitz II) or CHB
– Block is normally below AV node in those
rhythms
12
Management of Complete Heart
Block
• Transcutaneous Pacing (TCP)
– Non-invasive
– Fast
– Can initiate while waiting for response to
drugs
– Useful in hemodynamic instability due to
bradycardia
– Difference between electrical vs. mechanical
capture

Transvenous Pacing
• More useful for longer-term pacing
• Catheter placed in right ventricle
– Can place in right atria if atrial pacing necessary
• Venous access
– IJ
– Subclavian
– Femoral vein
• If prosthetic tricuspid valve, access can be
obtained via left side through coronary sinus

Indications for Permanent
Pacemaker
• Class 1
– Generally agreed pacing is indicated
• Complete or advanced second degree heart block
with symptomatic bradycardia
• Persistent complete or advanced second degree
heart block following MI
• Sinus node dysfunction with symptomatic
bradycardia
• Class II
– Pacemakers frequently used but
consensus as to necessity is not clear
• Asymptomatic 2º or complete AV block
– HR > 40
• Asymptomatic sinus node dysfunction
– HR > 40
• Class III
–Generally agreed pacing is not
indicated
• First degree AV block
• Transient post-MI AV block without
bundle branch block
• Asymptomatic fascicular blocks without
2nd or 3rd degree AV block
Final Thoughts
• Was glycopyrrolate/neostigmine
imbalance causative?
• Should we have given atropine?
• Is it worth placing transcutaneous pads
on all patients at risk?
