Review outlines perioperative management for patients with CIEDs undergoing noncardiac surgery.
Why the study?
Managing patients with implantable cardiac devices during noncardiac surgery requires updated insights on device function and perioperative management steps.
This review provides guidance on the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management of patients with pacemakers and ICDs undergoing noncardiac surgery.
In this article, the reader will get some insights into managing patient with implantable cardiac devices while undergoing noncardiac surgery. We will review basic concepts regarding normal function of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, understanding how their function will be influenced during noncardiac surgeries. You will be guided through management steps from preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative aspects. In an ever-changing world of medicine, it is important to keep up with progress as more and more patients get implantable cardiac devices.
