Abstract

Many patients undergoing elective or emergency surgery have a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED), and their number continues to grow. This joint position paper of the Swiss Working Group on Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology of the Swiss Society of Cardiology and the Cardiovascular and Thoracic Anaesthesia Group of the Swiss Society of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation gives a concise overview of the pre-, intraand postoperative issues and management of pacemaker and de fibrillator carriers in the setting of electrocautery used for surgery and strives to give practical and readily applicable guidance stressing the simple use of a magnet placed over the CIED.
Keywords: pacemaker; defibrillator; electrocautery; magnet; reed switch; surgery REVIEW ARTICLE 13 Abbreviations pacemaker; defibrillator; electrocautery; magnet; reed switch; surgery REVIEW ARTICLE 13 Abbreviations
