What ventricle is the pacemaker?
this is a particular setting on a pacemaker which essentially senses if the ventricle depolarises, if it does not the PM will activate it and ensure the heart carries on beating.Also:A demand pacemaker (there are several types) kicks in after your cardiac function varies outside a pre-set normal rate. It then brings your heartbeat into a more efficient rhythm. (Sinus-rhythm.)A demand pacemaker does not take the place of an implanted defibrillator! If a genuinely life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia develops, it takes a defibrillator -- an implanted one or an external unit used by someone trained to respond -- to correct ventricular fibrillation. If it is not corrected, v-fib is fatal.
Difference between external and implanted pacemaker?
Answer External means on the outside. Implanted means that the pacemaker goes inside the body.

Is CPR performed any differently if patient has a defibrillator?
No, CPR isn't performed any differently if patient has a defibrillator.
Does congestive heart failure improve with a pacemaker?
Yes, you should externally defibrillate a patient with a pacemaker who has gone into cardiac arrest. Chest compressions, rescue breathing and standard cardiac arrest procedures should be followed, while paying attention to the following points.EMS personnel should be aware that the pacemaker has its own implanted defibrillator and will fire charges at regular intervals. This should not harm the person doing chest compressions. A slight tingling feeling may be felt on the patient as the shock from the pacemaker is delivered. To avoid this, wear thick nitrile or latex gloves while doing chest compressions.The shock from the external defibrillator may cause damage to the pacemaker, and even interfere with it. To lessen the risk of this, the defibrillator should be placed on the lowest possible charge that is clinically accepted. If you notice that the implanted defibrillator and the external defibrillator both deliver a shock at the same time, standard procedure dictates that you wait 30 to 60 seconds prior to re-shocking with the external defibrillator. In the meantime, chest compressions and manual ventilation may be commenced.Intubation, artificial airways and other standard practices should be performed, despite the patient having a pacemaker.It is also vital that urgent medical help be called as with all cardiac arrest patients. Remember, cardiac arrest patients are not normally transported in the ambulance unless they are revived on scene.
Can you do CPR on a patient with a pacemaker with a built in defibrillator?
r u dumb?!
What is a pacemaker and how does it work?
A pacemaker can be implanted into the chest to stimulate the heart so that it beats in a regular rhythm.
