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

β¦ Synopsis
Temporary ventricular pacing was successfully employed in two patients suffering refractory bradycardia following traumatic cardiac arrest. The hemodynamic response to pacing was dramatic and both patients eventually recovered fully from an apparent moribund state. Cardiac pacing may be an effective adjuvant in the early resuscitation of the massively injured patient.
