Summary
As the indications for these devices has widened, the prevalence of permanent pacemakers (PPMs) and ICDs has increased. The complexity of these devices makes them susceptible to perioperative interference and inadvertent reprogramming, placing patients at greater risk of perioperative morbidity. Management guidelines are largely based on case series and expert consensus rather than prospective, randomized studies.
