Terminology:
•Excitability:
The ability of a cell to respond to a stimulus
by depolarizing and propagating an action potential
•Depolarization: Occurs when there is a decrease in the
polarity across a cell membrane.
•Hyperpolarization: Occurs when there is an increase in
the polarity across a cell membrane.
•Conductivity: The ability of a cell to transmit action
potentials to adjacent cells.
•Rhythmicity: The ability of cells to generate automatic
action potentials.

Cardiac Anatomy and
myocardial conduction
Where it all begins…………
Lets get nerdy…
 This
equation is used to define the electrical
gradient across a membrane based on ion
concentrations
 This can be applied to cardiac myocytes which
helps to explain the ion potentials during AP
propagation and RMP.

Nernst Equation
•Em
Em= (-RT/zF) X log [K]i/[K]o
is the equilibrium potential of the ion based on
transmembrane concentrations.
•R-universal gas constant (8.314472 JXK -1)
•T- absolute temperature (273.15 degrees kelvin)
•[K]i- potassium concentration on the inside of the cell
•[K]o-potassium concentration on the outside of the cell.
•z- the number of electric charges carried by a single
potassium ion
•F- the Faraday constant (9.6485309 X104 cmol-1)
Lets get really nerdy…
The
Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation
accounts for the ionic potentials of
multiple ions across a cell membrane.
 EMF=
61.5 X log([Na]iPNa+[K]iPK+[Cl]oPCl)
([Na]oPNa+[K]oPK+[CliPCl)
The Sinoatrial Node
•The
SA node is made up of specialized cardiac
muscle cells which do not have contractile abilities.
•The SA node is the primary pacemaker in the
cardiac conduction system.
•It’s intrinsic rate is faster than the other latent
pacemakers in the heart and thus overrides them.
• It’s automaticity and intrinsic rate is dependant
upon *calcium leak channels in the sarcoplasmic
reticulum.
At the cellular level
SA Node conduction
Ectopic Pacemakers
•This
is a portion of the heart with a more rapid rate
than the sinus node.
•Also occurs when transmission from the SA node to
A-V node is blocked (A-V block).
•During sudden onset of A-V block, sinus node
impulses do not get through, and next fastest area
of discharge becomes pacemaker of heart beat.
•Delay in pickup of the heart beat is called “StokesAdams” syndrome. The new pacemaker is in A-V
node or penetrating part of A-V bundle.
AV node
 The
AV node contains
highly specialized tissue that
slows impulse conduction
considerably thereby
allowing sufficient time for
complete atrial
depolarization and
contraction prior to
ventricular depolarization
and contraction.
Purkinje Fibers
Located
in the inner
ventricular walls of the
heart, just beneath the
endocardium.
The Purkinje fibers
have the fastest
conduction speed of
any fibers in the heart.
Normal
ventricular RMP
is -80 to -90mV
Action potential
is accelerated
once threshold
is reached by
the opening of
fast Na
channels and
slow Ca
channels.

Anesthesia and in situ pacemakers
Electromagnetic interference is
always a problem when taking a
person into the OR for a surgical
procedure.
Increase in Pacemaker threshold
with some drugs in the OR setting.
Physiologic alterations can
change pacemaker function.
Questions you need to ask
 What
is the going
device? into the OR
before
 What
brand and model?
 Does your hospital have a programmer for this
make and model?
 What is the magnet mode?
 Why does the patient have a pacemaker?
 What rhythm does the patient have when the
pacemaker is shut off?
 When was the last time it was interrogated?
 How long has it been since the battery has been
changed?

What
do you do when

Anesthesia for patients
with AICD’s
•Questions
•Why
to ask the patient:
do they have an AICD?
•How long have they had it?
•Who is the manufacturer?
•When was the last time it was interrogated?
•When was the last time they received an AICD
shock?
•How often do they get shocked?

 Insulation breach

Failure to capture
Innapropriate AICD shock
The Magic Magnet
The
magnet IS
NOT
magical!!!
Don’t be lured in
to a false sense of
security of “I’ll just
put a magnet on
it” to fix any
problems.
Magnet Mode
What happens when a magnet is applied over a pacemaker?

The pacemaker mode temporarily switches to VOO in single chamber
devices and DOO in dual chamber devices.
 Asynchronous pacing delivers output regardless of intrinsic activity
 Pacing rate will be 85 bpm for pacemaker battery levels above
ERI (elective replacement indicator) and 65 bpm for battery levels
below ERI*
 When the magnet is removed, the previously programmed mode
returns*

Use when:
 Checking pacemaker battery level
 EMI is present (surgery, TENS, etc.)
 Device troubleshooting (breaking a PMT, assessing capture, etc.)
Magnet Mode
 What
happens when a magnet is placed
over an AICD?
 If the patient is not pacemaker
dependant….
 If the patient is pacemaker dependant…
So what are the
recommendations?
 De-fasciculation
prior to succinylcholine is
recommended if the patient has a RR pacemaker
 Question the use of Nitrous if the pacemaker is new
 Inhalation agents and propofol do not affect
pacing thresholds.
 What other monitors do I need?
 YOU DO NOT ALWAYS NEED TO TURN OFF THE AICD
OR PACEMAKER!
Recommendations
 Atropine
should be close at hand if the
patient should have severe bradycardia.
 A patient with an AICD or pacemaker
should NEVER be sent home without the
device being interrogated by a
representative of the device’s company if
a magnet has been used.
 What about ACLS with AICD’s and
pacemakers?
Recommendations:







Perioperative management of these patients should
be individualized.
The best type of anesthesia for the patient with an
AICD or pacemaker depends on the type of surgery
and the patient’s co-morbidities
Bipolar is better
If using monopolar cautery, place pad close to
incision site and keep bursts to less than 5 seconds.
Cardioversion will reset the device
If below the umbilicus the risk of EMI is very low with a
pacemaker.
Surgery below the umbilicus in the patient with an
AICD may still create risk of innapropriate shock.
Recommendations

All volatile anesthetics depress cardiac contractility by
decreasing calcium into cells during depolarization

NEVER TURN OFF A PACEMAKER OR AICD WITHOUT
HAVING THE PATIENT HOOKED UP TO EXTERNAL
PACING/DEFIBRILLATION PADS!!!!

Pacemaker and AICD policy
Each
facility should have a pacemaker
and AICD policy. You should find and
become familiar with yours.
When dealing with patients who have
pacemakers or AICD’s, please use
these policies to guide you since these
are what you will be measured by if
there are any problems.
