Clinical application of bedside temporary cardiac pacing in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Objective To investigate the clinical effects and safety of bedside temporary cardiac pacing in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with bradycardia arrhythmia. Methods Forty-five patients with AMI were received the insertion of the temporary cardiac pacing on bedside without the guidance of X ray. Results Forty-five cases with AMI received procedure of the bedside temporary cardiac pacing successfully without severe complication. Time for successful pacing was (3.5±1.2)min. The catheter was kept in the right ventricular for(3.8±1.3)days. During the pacing,electrode dislocation occurred in 4 cases. Conclusion The successful rate of inserting temporary pacing electrode on bedside without the guidance of X ray is high,which may be safety and more benefit for AMI patients with bradycardia arrhythmia.
