Periprocedural Management and Multidisciplinary Care Pathways for Patients With Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
Published: July 10, 2024
- Understanding and managing patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is of utmost importance as interference with device function during procedures may result in hemodynamic disturbances or arrhythmias.
- This scientific statement provides a framework for the periprocedural management of patients with these devices, encompassing the planning phase, procedure, and subsequent care coordinated with the primary device managing clinic.
- Optimal perioperative management of a patient with a CIED focuses on patient-centered care that includes preprocedural assessment of the patient and device and effective and timely communication with the procedural team.
