May guide pacing preparedness after valve surgery; leaves open optimal protocols and duration for prospective trials.
Temporary epicardial pacing after cardiac surgery requires a thorough understanding of pacing modes, lead configurations, and device settings to optimize cardiac output and avoid life-threatening complications.
Ley et al. (2015) conducted a review in Cardiac surgery. Temporary epicardial pacing was evaluated. Temporary epicardial pacing is required in approximately 25% of valve surgery patients and 10% of coronary bypass patients to optimize cardiac output and manage postoperative arrhythmias.
