Background: The pacemaker is a device implanted under the skin of the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms. This device sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable rhythm and heart rate.
Introduction: Patients undergoing implantation of cardiac pacemakers require specialized medical care. Nurses play a key role in the care of patients with cardiac pacemakers, especially in the preoperative and postoperative periods. This review focuses on the practices and interventions performed by nurses to improve outcomes and care in managing and monitoring patients with pacemakers.
Methods: This article presents the fundamental aspects of caring for patients with pacemakers in the preoperative and postoperative periods. The review covers processes of assessment, observation, and interventions related to patient status, pacemaker function, and associated complications. Results: Nurses play a key role in monitoring patients with pacemakers, including monitoring device function and identifying potential problems or complications. Nursing interventions include pain management, infection control, educational programs for patients and their families, and support for the psychological well-being of patients.
Conclusion: Care for patients with pacemakers in the preoperative and postoperative periods requires specialized knowledge and skills from nurses. Understanding the practices and interventions in this area can improve outcomes and the quality of care for these patients.
