Supports consideration of preoperative CIED checks; leaves open prospective trials to validate re-interrogation thresholds.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with cardiac pacemakers (nearly 3 million worldwide) or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (more than 300,000 worldwide) undergoing anesthesia

Intervention

Perioperative management including preoperative interrogation and postoperative re-interrogation

Preoperative interrogation and appropriate perioperative management of pacemakers and ICDs are crucial to prevent adverse events during anesthesia.
