Interference in Implanted Cardiac Devices, Part I

Abstract: Classification of Sources of EMI Sources of EMI can be classified according to type and spectral frequency of energy emitted, and the environment in which the source is encountered (Table I). A detailed discussion of the physics of electromagnetic fields is beyond the scope of this review. 3,4 For clinical purposes, it is useful to recognize radiated and conducted sources of EMI. Radiated EMI can result from energy emitted for communication purposes or as an unintended effect of other electrical activity (e.g.… Show more

“…Sofern Hochfrequenzstrom am Kör-perstamm eingesetzt wird, muss die Neutralelektrode bei unipolaren Geräten so nah wie möglich an das Operationsfeld und so weit wie möglich vom Aggregat entfernt positioniert werden [3,6]. Dadurch kann der Strompfad vom Schrittmacher-/ICD-System weggeleitet werden.…”

“…Meist handelt es sich hierbei um ältere, teils multimorbide Patienten, die sich gehäuft unterschiedlichen operativen Eingriffen unterziehen müssen. Hierbei ist eine Vielzahl von Stör-beeinflussungen von Herzschrittmachern und implantierten Defibrillatoren durch den Einsatz von Elektrokautern bekannt [3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. Diese sind in .…”
