To test the efficacy of transcutaneous pacing in prehospitaI bradyasystolic arrest, we applied an external transcutaneous pacing device to patients with asystole, pulseless idioventricular rhythms (PIVR), and pulseless bradycardias. Pacemaker units were carried by emergency medical services (EMS) ph
These results support the concept that cardiac pacing must be initiate d early if the outcome of bradyasystolic cardiac arrest is to be altered. pital. Misplacement of the pacing catheter tip may contribute to the poor success rate of transvenous pacing during CPR.
