Poster summary
- Trans-venous cardiac pacing is potentially life-saving. It involves two components: Obtaining a central venous access, and intra-cardiac placement of a pacing wire. This case study describes our experience with trans-venous catheter placement in a small series of patients who needed emergent temporary cardiac pacing in the Emergency Department (ED). We attempt to answer the pressing question: Does a trained Emergency Physician (EP) in a structured ED with the skills to perform a trans-venous cardiac pacing make a difference?
