Asystole during pacemaker magnet application.
James E IpTodd J LiuCarol L ChenBruce B LermanPublished in: Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE (2017)
Pacemaker magnet application during surgery for patients who are pacemaker-dependent is often utilized to avoid perioperative inhibition from electromagnetic interference. We present a case during which such routine magnet use resulted in an unexpected response and discuss the limitations and nuances of this common practice.
