EMCrit Wee - Case of Failure of Pulse Ox to Confirm Transcutaneous Pacemaker (TCP) Capture with Mathieu Brunet

Jul 8, 2023
Cardiac emergencies expert Mathieu Brunet discusses a case where pulse oximetry failed to confirm Transcutaneous Pacemaker capture, highlighting the challenges of interpreting pulse oximetry waveforms and SVO2 readings in critical care. The podcast explores the complexities of arterial venous shunting, muscular contractions mimicking pulsation, and the need for alternative methods like ultrasound for confirming mechanical capture during pacing interventions.
