Cardiac pacing under hyperbaric conditions

JM Kratz, JG Blackburn, RB Leman and FA Crawford

Temporary external pacemakers have been reported to fail under hyperbaric conditions. In this study we investigated cardiac pacing under hyperbaric conditions. Permanent hermetically sealed pacemakers were found to function well under hyperbaric conditions, while several models of temporary external pacemakers failed. The electrical characteristics of pacing leads did not change under hyperbaric conditions. External pacing under hyperbaric conditions may be accomplished safely by using a permanent pacemaker attached to the patient's temporary external leads.
