Alerts clinicians to rare temporary pacemaker runaway pacing; leaves open incidence, mechanisms, and prevention.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights a rare but severe runaway malfunction in a temporary pacemaker causing inappropriate high-rate pacing, likely due to oxidation-induced high resistance.
Park et al. (2016) conducted a case report in High-degree atrioventricular block (n=1). Single-chamber temporary pacemaker (Model 5348, VVI type) was evaluated on Inappropriate high-rate pacing with maximal output. An 84-year-old woman experienced inappropriate high-rate pacing at 180 b.p.m. with maximal output due to a temporary pacemaker malfunction 11 days after insertion.
