Abstract:
External cardiac pacing has recently been reintroduced as an effective method in emergency cardiac stimulation. We report for the first time the results of external cardiac pacing in a mobile intensive cardiac care unit. In 9 of 10 patients treated during the first 3 months of 1990, effective pacing was achieved. We conclude that external cardiac pacing is a rapid, safe and effective means of temporary pacing during emergency treatment, before admission to hospital.
