Monday Back to Basics

Transvenous Pacing

The last two weeks, Dr. Cash taught us about bradycardia and transcutaneous pacing. This week, we dug back years into the archives and pulled out Dr. Pelletier-Bui’s famous post on transvenous pacing.

A timeless classic! Just be sure to know what supplies are available in your department, where to find them, and alternate options if your supplies differ.
