Hi, may I know do we still need to connect the 3 ecg leads to pt while using the multipurpose combo pad to pace pt TCP? We need to choose lead II to monitor instead of pad?
When you turn your pacer on it will automatically revert to the leads once pacing is started. Transcutaneous pacing requires the leads be also applied, in addition to the pads, since there are no multifunction pads that can both put out electricity and read the EKG at the same time. In addition to using sticky electrodes, I also tape them on to avoid loosing one, as the pacing will immediately stop if an electrode becomes disconnected from the patient.
Excellent and very clearly described. Thank you.
great presentation
Fantastic presentation.

this was fantastic
Nice explanation.... Thank u....
One question : Is sedation / anesthesia required as long as the patient is kept under transcutaneous pacing ?
Yes, this is VERY painful, and of course as BP allows.
Excellent, concise presentation. Might benefit from eliminating the robotic voice that introduces every chapter.
