Drug overdoses in general are increasing and overdoses of cardiac medications are also increasing; some are associated with a high mortality. Temporary cardiac pacing has a valuable role in cases of hypotension related to dysrhythmia, or when it is necessary to provide overdrive pacing. However, despite technically successful and uncomplicated pacemaker insertion and restoration of cardiac electrical activity, patients developing bradyarrhythmia and hypotension after an overdose are in a high risk group.
一般来说,药物过量情况在增加,心脏药物过量情况也在增加;其中一些与高死亡率相关。临时心脏起搏在与心律失常相关的低血压病例中,或在需要进行超速起搏时具有重要作用。然而,尽管起搏器植入技术成功且操作简单,心脏电活动得以恢复,但药物过量后出现缓慢性心律失常和低血压的患者仍属于高危人群。
