Pacemakers and Implantable Defibrillators
When care is being provided for the CIED patient undergoing surgery, the anesthesia technician or technologist should do all of the following EXCEPT:
Set up the ECG monitor to detect pacing activity (''spikes'').
Ensure that a magnet is readily available.
Ensure that temporary pacing and defibrillation equipment is readily available.
Offer to assist with magnet placement as part of placing monitors on the patient.
Anticipate that an anesthesia provider might choose not to make any changes in a patient's management as a result of their CIED.
