The spikes are on the wrong parts of the ECG. The Spikes are evenly marched
out, but are pacing on the wrong parts.


To fix this, we must decrease energy mAV or sensitivity mV.

This is dangerous because of the risk for R-on-T phenomenon and pace on the T-
wave.




inhibits parasympathetic nervous system.
Treatment for symptomatic bradycardia.
1 mg IVpush 3-5 minutes.


Side effects are blurry vision, tachycardia, urinary retention.

, A magnet will change the pacemaker to an asynchronous type of pacing
and will pace at a magnet rate.

Magnets are placed for comfort care and dying patients.


Over an ICD, it will inhibit the defibrillator




There is pacing, but there is no follow-up with QRS.


To fix this, we must increase the mAV.
