  • Title: Percussion pacing in a three-year-old girl with complete heart block during cardiac catheterization.
    Author: Eich C, Bleckmann A, Paul T.
    Journal: Br J Anaesth; 2005 Oct; 95(4):465-7. PubMed ID: 16051649.
    Abstract:
    Complete heart block frequently requires emergency pacing to restore systemic perfusion. We report the case of a 3-yr-old girl undergoing interventional atrial septal defect closure who suffered from transient complete heart block with circulatory arrest. Transthoracic mechanical pacing for more than 3 min provided temporary support, sustaining an adequate cardiac output until sinus rhythm resumed.
