Temporary pacing was first introduced in 1952 by Zoll and co-workers. This life-saving technique is used in a variety of critical care settings. It can be achieved by leads placed in the right ventricle or atrium, or both, via the femoral, jugular, or subclavian vein. Epicardial insertion of pacing leads is frequently used during open heart surgery. A non-invasive option is transcutaneous pacing through adhesive electrode pads. This chapter discusses indications, technique, implantation, complications, and follow-up of temporary pacemakers.

SummaryA prospective study in 13 patients undergoing open-heart surgery with extracorporeal circulation revealed a marked decrease of the mean one-stage prothrombin time activity from 88% to 54% (p <0.005) but lesser decreases of factors I, II, V, VII and X. This apparent discrepancy was due to the appearance of an inhibitor of the extrinsic coagulation system, termed PEC (Protein after Extracorporeal Circulation). The mean plasma PEC level rose from 0.05 U/ml pre-surgery to 0.65 U/ml post-surgery (p <0.0005), and was accompanied by the appearance of additional proteins as evidenced by disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of plasma fractions (p <0.0005). The observed increases of PEC, appearance of abnormal protein bands and concomitant increases of LDH and SGOT suggest that the release of an inhibitor of the coagulation system (similar or identical to PIVKA) may be due to hypoxic liver damage during extracorporeal circulation.

SummaryBlood clotting investigations have been executed in 25 patients who have undergone open heart surgery with extracorporeal circulation. A description of alterations in the activity of blood clotting factors, the fibrinolytic system, prothrombin consumption and platelets during several phases of the operation is given.
