University of California San Francisco Pacemakers and Cardioverter Defibrillators Cautery Induced Pacemaker Failure Conclusions Lead MCL5 • Do NOT be afraid of the Magnet • For pacemakers: test the magnet before surgery starts, in a monitored setting, to confirm what it will do • Failure to capture ! Pacing spikes but no QRS complex - low output ! need to increase the output (mA or volts) - electrolyte abnormality (hyperkalemia) - major organ failure! pneumothorax, hemothorax, pericardial effusion, air embolism, etc. advancing health worldwide TM ! • Deactivate the ICD for the OR. And when you do, have a defibrillator immediately available Lead MCL5 • Cautery can reprogram any pacemaker or ICD, whether or not a magnet is over the device, when cautery is used • Unexpected (new) pacemaker behavior ! call cardiologist 25mm/sec • Confirm proper pacemaker or ICD function after surgery - Eg. pacemaker tachycardia, does not inhibit when it should, etc. Shapiro WA.
