Pacing; Roadside to Resus

Simon Laing, Rob Fenwick & James Yates
About this episode

So following on from our Bradycardia episode, we're going to look in detail at cardiac pacing.

Setting up emergency pacing in those compromised bradycardia patients can make a significant difference to patient outcomes, and doing so in a timely and slick fashion can be a real challenge.

In this episode we'll be discussing all forms of pacing, strategies for ensuring the greatest likelihood of success and the details of setup and analgesia/sedation strategies for external pacing.

Once again we'd love to hear any comments or questions either via the website or social media.

Enjoy!

Simon, Rob & James
