ABSTRACT

The criteria for preoperative use of pacemakers are not unanimously agreed upon. Certain cases require careful assessment to weigh potential benefits against inherent risks in placing the device. Although external transcutaneous pacemakers, whose use circumvents the risks of transvenous insertion, have been available for years, such devices are not always appropriate, depending on the flow disorder involved or the type of surgery that will be performed. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who was a candidate for surgery requiring general anesthesia (lumboperitoneal shunt due to chronic adult hydrocephaly). Although her condition did not initially call for prophylactic use of a pacemaker before surgery, changes soon developed that necessitated insertion of a temporary transvenous device for surgery and insertion of a permanent pacemaker the day after surgery.

ABSTRACT

La criterios para la indicación de un marcapasos profiláctico preoperatorio no son unánimes y existen determinados casos que requieren una valoración cuidadosa, que sopese los potenciales beneficios frente a los riesgos inherentes a la colocación de dicho dispositivo. Aunque desde hace unos años disponemos de marcapasos externos transcutáneos, que evitan los riesgos derivados de la inserción transvenosa, éstos no son adecuados en todos los casos, y dependen del trastorno de conducción existente y del tipo de cirugía que se vaya a realizar.Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 75 años propuesta para intervención quirúrgica que requería anestesia general (derivación lumboperitoneal por hidrocefalia crónica del adulto) y que, aunque inicialmente no reunía criterios para la utilización de un marcapasos profiláctico preoperatorio, en muy poco tiempo cambió la indicación, siendo necesaria la inserción de un dispositivo transvenoso temporal para la intervención quirúrgica, y que precisó de la colocación de un marcapasos definitivo el día siguiente a la cirugía (AU)
