ABSTRACT
Cardiac electrical stimulation is a rarely used but required skill for pediatric emergency physicians. Children who are in cardiac arrest or who demonstrate evidence of hypoperfusion because of cardiac reasons require rapid diagnosis and intervention to minimize patient morbidity and mortality. Both hospital- and community-based personnel must have sufficient access to, and knowledge of, appropriate equipment to provide potentially lifesaving defibrillation, cardioversion, or cardiac pacing. In this review, we will discuss the primary clinical indications for cardioelectrical stimulation in pediatric patients, including the use of automated external defibrillators, internal defibrillators, and pacemakers. We discuss the types of devices that are currently available, emergency management of internal defibrillation and pacemaker devices, and the role of advocacy in improving delivery of emergency cardiovascular care of pediatric patients in the community.
