Implication

Facilitates consistent UK end-of-life CIED decisions; leaves open real-world outcomes and broader adoption.

Structured PICO

P
Population
People with cardiovascular implanted electronic devices (CIEDs) towards the end of life, during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and after death.
I
Intervention
Guidance on the management and deactivation of CIEDs (including pacemakers, ICDs, CRT-D devices, and implantable loop recorders).

This document provides comprehensive UK consensus guidance on the ethical, legal, and practical management of CIEDs for patients approaching the end of life, during CPR, and after death.

Limitations

  • Available evidence to support interventions was of low or very low quality with a high risk of bias
  • Recommendations are based primarily on expert opinion, balancing of benefits and harms, and consensus

Cite This Study

Pitcher et al. (2016) studied Cardiovascular implanted electronic devices (CIEDs) management. Guidance on management of cardiovascular implanted electronic devices (CIEDs) was evaluated. This document provides comprehensive UK guidance on the management and deactivation of cardiovascular implanted electronic devices towards the end of life, during resuscitation, and after death.
