Physiologic and psychologic responses to cardiac pacemakers. 1991

A Verderber, and L Fitzsimmons, and M Shively

Three studies are discussed in this column. In one, it is concluded that noninvasive temporary pacing is safe and effective for short-term uses. Another study showed that a structured teaching program on pacemaker implantation improved patient knowledge but did not affect their endocrine or psychologic responses. In the third study, it was concluded that children can experience healthy psychosocial adaptation to a pacemaker.
