Electromagnetic interference usually produces only minor effects in patients with pacemakers. Nevertheless, the possibilities of serious and even fatal consequences of this complication must be recognised. This case reports an unusual anaesthetic source of interference, caused by activation of a popular nerve stimulator, resulting in cardiac arrest in a patient with a fixed-rate ventricular pacemaker.
电磁干扰通常只会对植入起搏器的患者产生轻微影响。然而，必须认识到这种并发症可能导致严重甚至致命后果。本病例报告了一种不寻常的麻醉干扰源，由一种常用的神经刺激器激活引起，导致一名固定频率心室起搏器患者心脏骤停。
