We continue the series on Temporary Pacemakers and take a look at the different modes they operate in and how to understand the nomenclature for representing that mode. That is further divided up in to differences between single and dual chamber pacemakers. From there we talk about the basic settings that are a need to know group. Having the knowledge of the modes and these settings will really strengthen your ability to care for patients with these devices.

❗️❗️CORRECTION: ❗️❗️I apologize as I flipped the terminology for sensitivity! The higher the mV, and thus the higher the "fence", the LESS sensitive we are and the LESS chance we will see the rhythm. As we lower the mV thus lowering the "fence" we become more sensitive to the underlying rhythm and have a better chance of seeing it. If we go too low, then we become TOO sensitive and would see all electrical activity as a heartbeat instead of just, for example, the peak of the QRS complex. Hence our threshold is the less sensitive setting (highest mV) to just barely begin to see the underlying rhythm.

In the last lesson on troubleshooting, I will correct this and make sure to explain this better. Sorry for any confusion! 😔
