What is Noninvasive Transcutaneous Pacing?

8
Noninvasive transcutaneous pacing is a technique of electrically stimulating the
heart externally through a set of electrodes. Pacing is required when the heart's own
conduction system slows dangerously.
The HP CodeMaster 100 with the pacer can perform external transcutaneous pacing.
The pacer provides demand (synchronous) and fixed (asynchronous) pacing modes.
The patient is connected to the pacer by multifunction defib electrodes. The patient
can be paced and defibrillated through the same set of electrodes.
