Noninvasive Temporary Pacing (NTP)
Increase pacer output mA until stimulation is
effective (capture). Output mA value is displayed
digitally on the lower right of the monitor.
EFFECTIVE PACING
Pacing above threshold:
DETERMINING CAPTURE
It is important to recognize when stimulation has produced a ventricular response.
Ventricular response is normally characterized by suppression of the intrinsic QRS
complex. The following tracings are typical.
EFFECTIVE PACING
Note negative R-wave
and large T-waves.
EFFECTIVE PACING
Note the widened
positive QRS which looks
like an ectoplc beat. A
paced beat is by definition .
