Cardiac Pacemakers — Nursing Care

Pacemakers deliver electrical stimuli to maintain adequate heart rate. Types: temporary (transcutaneous, transvenous) and permanent (single, dual, CRT, ICD). Nurses monitor for failure to capture, sense, and pace.

Core official overview

What this condition is

What is heart failure?Heart failure means that your heart can't pump enough oxygen-rich blood to meet your body's needs. Heart failure doesn't mean that your heart has stopped or is about to stop beating. But without enough blood flow, your organs may not work well, which can cause serious problems.Heart failure can affect one or both sides of your heart:With right-sided heart failure, your heart is too weak to pump…

It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. Most arrhythmias result from problems in the electrical system of the heart. If your arrhythmia is serious, you may need a cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). They are devices that are implanted in your chest or abdomen.A pacemaker helps c… MRI Scans Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a large magnet and radio waves to look at organs and structures inside your body. Health care professionals use MRI scans to diagnose a variety of conditions, from torn ligaments to tumors. MRIs are very useful for examining the brain and spinal cord. During the scan, you lie on a table that slides inside a tunnel-shaped machine. Doing the scan can take a long time, and you must… Sarcoidosis What is sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis is a condition in which groups of cells in your immune system form small, red, and swollen (inflamed) lumps. These lumps are called granulomas. They can form in any organ in the body. But they most commonly affect the lungs and lymph nodes in the chest. Over time, sarcoidosis can cause permanent scarring of organs.What causes sarcoidosis?Your immune system creates inflammation to hel…
