Background:

Transcutaneous pacing (TP) is a minimally invasive cardiac pacing method.
Historically abandoned due to pain, muscle contraction, and burns.
Transvenous pacing became the preferred method, reducing interest in TP.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide an overview of transcutaneous pacing.
To emphasize the importance of nursing care in TP.
To highlight the renewed relevance of TP in emergency settings.

Main Methods:

Literature review on transcutaneous pacing.
Discussion of historical limitations and recent investigations.
Focus on nursing implications and care strategies.

Main Results:

TP is the fastest, easiest, and least invasive pacing mode.
Recent studies indicate TP's utility in urgent prehospital and hospital scenarios.
Cardiovascular nurses need to be informed about TP therapy.

Conclusions:

Transcutaneous pacing has regained importance for immediate cardiac pacing needs.
Understanding and implementing TP requires updated knowledge for healthcare professionals.
Effective nursing care is crucial for successful transcutaneous pacing outcomes.
