Air within a pacemaker pocket may cause transient malfunction of a replacement unipolar cardiac pacemaker. This was noted in a patient in whom entrapped air prevented tissue contact of the anode, resulting in complete cessation of myocardial stimulation and absence of an electrocardiographic pacemaker artifact. Methods for avoiding this complication are proposed.
起搏器囊袋内的空气可能导致更换后的单极心脏起搏器出现短暂故障。在一名患者中观察到这种情况，该患者囊袋内的空气阻碍了阳极与组织的接触，导致心肌刺激完全停止且心电图上无起搏器伪迹。文中提出了避免这种并发症的方法。
