    This study analyzed 927 patients with multiprogramable pacemakers, finding a 14.9% complication rate. Sepsis and hematoma of the pacemaker pocket were the most common issues, highlighting the importance of nursing care.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Device Technology
    • Infectious Disease

    Context:

    • Analysis of multiprogramable pacemaker implantations between 1987-1988.
    • Study conducted at a major teaching hospital and a cardiovascular surgery institute.
    • Involves a cohort of 927 patients of both sexes.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the complication rates associated with multiprogramable pacemakers.
    • To identify the most frequent complications and their prevalence.
    • To emphasize the role of nursing in managing pacemaker patients and their complications.

    Summary:

    • A 14.9% complication rate was observed in 927 patients receiving multiprogramable pacemakers.
    • The primary complications included pocket sepsis (46.7%), hematoma, and elevated pacing thresholds.

  • Aseptic necrosis was a less frequent complication, occurring in 5.7% of cases.

    • Impact:

    • Provides crucial data on the safety and adverse events of early multiprogramable pacemaker technology.
    • Underscores the significance of vigilant nursing care in preventing and managing pacemaker-related complications.
    • Informs clinical practice and patient management strategies for pacemaker recipients.
