  • Title: Is intrapartum temporary pacing required for women with complete atrioventricular block? An analysis of seven cases.
    Author: Hidaka N, Chiba Y, Kurita T, Satoh S, Nakano H.
    Journal: BJOG; 2006 May; 113(5):605-7. PubMed ID: 16579804.
    Abstract:
    Women with complete atrioventricular heart block without a permanent pacemaker normally receive temporary pacing for labour and birth. Here, we report seven women who were managed without pacing. All women had a temporary pacing lead inserted prior to induction of labour, but none of the women required pacing during labour or birth. Our experience suggests that women with complete atrioventricular block and without permanent pacing do not routinely require temporary pacing for labour and birth.
