Empfehlungen zur externen Kardioversion bei Patienten mit Herzschrittmacher oder implantiertem Kardioverter/Defibrillator

Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eine Stellungnahme der Arbeitsgruppe "Rhythmologie" der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Kardiologie -Herz-und Kreislaufforschung e.V. (DGK), die den gegenwärtigen Erkenntnisstand wiedergibt und allen Ärz-ten und ihren Patienten die Entscheidungsfindung erleichtern soll. Es wird eine Empfehlung abgegeben, für welche Patienten das vorgestellte (diagnostische und/oder therapeutische) Verfahren infrage kommt. Der Zusammenhang zwischen der jeweiligen Empfehlung und dem zugehörigen Evidenzgrad … Show more

“…Procedural advisories for ECV or ED in patients with CIED have been developed by professional societies: The American Heart Association (AHA), the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the German Cardiac Society [30][31][32][33][34] . The recommendations of these Society was heterogeneous and differ in regards to ECV or ED use in CIED patients.…”

“…When a device is located in an area where a pad would normally be placed, the AHA recommends positioning the ECV pads in the antero-apex position at least 2.5 cm away from the device [31] . In contrast, the consultants and ASA members agree with the recommendation that if ECV or ED is required, attempt to keep the CIED at least 10 cm away and out of the shock wave [34] . Our meta-analysis of literature [11][12][13][14][15] , suggest that the general precautions for ECV and ED in patients with CIED attempt to minimize the current delivered to the CIED system by using the minimal effective energy setting and placing the defibrillator paddles at least 10 cm away from the CIED, ensuring that the paddles are placed perpendicular to the dipole of the pacing system.…”

“…Biphasic defibrillators have been shown not only to have higher effectiveness of cardioversion at lower energy [46,49,[71][72][73], but also with this technology electrode positioning and geometry of energy transfer are of lesser importance [38,74,75]. In patients with implantable pacemakers or defibrillators, external defibrillator electrodes should be placed > 8 cm from the device pocket and preferably in the antero-posterior position [76]. Despite the long history of using external defibrillators optimal shock energy both for monophasic and biphasic defibrillators has not been established yet [45].…”

“…With this technology, electrode positioning and the geometry of energy transfer are of minor importance (30). In patients with implanted pacemakers or defibrillators, the electrodes should ideally be placed at a distance >8 cm from the unit in an anterior-posterior arrangement (31). The electrical discharge of the defibrillator is synchronized with the R wave in the electrocardiogram (14,32).…”
