Abstract

The temporary pacemaker implantation is a therapeutic procedure that can be necessary when the patient has symptoms of low output syndrome due to irreversible and uncontrolled arrhythmias that do not respond to the medical treatment.
The implantation of a definitive pacemaker will be mandatory if the situation persists.
The electrode is inserted through a vein under radiologic control until it is placed in the right ventricle, though in an emergency it is possible to place it, without radiological control, using a catheter with balloon.
This plan of care is focused on the treatment of patients with a temporary pacemaker, which has been inserted by intravenous technique.

Key words

care planning · complications · implantation · nursing care · nursing diagnosis · pacemaker · procedure · temporary pacemaker.
