What is Perioperative Management of Patients With A Pacemaker or Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator - UpToDate about?

Perioperative management of patients with pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators requires special consideration due to risks of electromagnetic interference from surgical devices disrupting device function. Electromagnetic interference can inhibit pacing, cause inappropriate shocks, or damage the device. Professional societies provide guidelines for device interrogation, programming, and use of magnets before and during surgery to minimize risks.
