Reported here is the case of a patient suffering from hemodynamically significant bradycardia in which the use of transcutaneous cardiac pacing resulted in successful resuscitation, obviating the need for invasive pacing. During pacing, intra-arterial recordings of blood pressure demonstrated higher pulse pressures for paced beats than for the patient's own escape beats. Recent data regarding the use of non-invasive transcutaneous cardiac pacing is also reviewed.
