9. TYPES OF PACING

10. Also known as transthoracic mechanical pacing, is the use of
the closed fist, usually on the left lower edge of
the sternum over the right ventricle in the vena cava, striking
from a distance of 20 – 30 cm to induce a ventricular beat
(the British Journal of Anaesthesia suggests this must be done
to raise the ventricular pressure to 10–15 mmHg to induce
electrical activity). This is an old procedure used only as a life
saving means until an electrical pacemaker is brought to the
patient

20. TEMPORARY TRANSVENOUS PACEMAKER

59. Wireless, Automated Pacemaker
Monitoring

61. •Ineffective cardiopulmonary tissue perfusion
related to heart block as evidenced by decreased
blood pressure
•Impaired skin integrity related to pacemaker
insertion as evidenced by disruption of skin
tissue.
•Risk for injury related to pacemaker failure

62. •Risk for Infection related to invasive
procedure.
•Disturbed body image related to the
presence of pulse generator and
battery as evidenced by negative
feeling about body.
