Abstract:Electrosurgery is commonly used during a range of operations in order to maintain effective haemostasis. This can cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) with cardiac implanted electronic devices (CIEDs), which prevents normal device function. CIEDs include pacemakers (PPM), implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD), cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices—both pacemakers and defibrillators (CRT-P/CRT-D)—and implantable loop recorders (ILRs). Damage to the generator, inhibition of pacing, activation of async… Show more
