Transoesophageal cardiac pacing

J M Hartley

    Anaesthesia
    |February 1, 1982

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Sick sinus syndrome caused a slow heart rate in an elderly patient during hip surgery. Transesophageal cardiac pacing provided a simple, temporary solution for this emergency, proving effective when atropine failed.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Anesthesiology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Elderly patients undergoing major surgery are susceptible to cardiac complications.
    • Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) can manifest as symptomatic bradycardia, particularly under anesthesia.
    • Anesthesia for total hip replacement presents unique physiological challenges.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed severe bradyarrhythmia during anesthesia for total hip replacement.
    • The bradyarrhythmia was unresponsive to intravenous atropine administration.
    • This suggested a diagnosis of sick sinus syndrome.

    Findings:

    • Non-invasive transesophageal cardiac pacing was successfully implemented.
    • The transesophageal pacing effectively managed the bradyarrhythmia.

  • This method provided temporary cardiac rhythm support.

    • Implications:

    • Transesophageal pacing offers a simple and rapid emergency intervention for bradyarrhythmias.
    • This technique is a valuable temporary solution in anesthetic emergencies.
    • It highlights the importance of readily available pacing options for surgical patients.
