  • Title: Noninvasive external pacing in the newborn.
    Author: Rein AJ, Cohen E, Weiss A, Marks KA, Peleg O, Nir A.
    Journal: Pediatr Cardiol; 1999; 20(4):290-2. PubMed ID: 10368456.
    Abstract:
    Complete atrioventricular block in the newborn occasionally requires emergency intervention when the heart rate is too low to provide adequate cardiac output. While medications are frequently ineffective, emergent implantation of a pacemaker is not always feasible and carries a significant morbidity. We report two cases of complete atrioventricular block in newborns treated immediately after birth with an external noninvasive pacemaker system.
