Pacemakers and Implantable Defibrillators
According to the ASA Practice Advisory on the perioperative management of patients with CIEDs, which of the following statement is FALSE?
In the pacing-dependent patient with an ICD, a magnet will not make the pacemaker asynchronous: if EMI is likely, the pacemaker must be reprogrammed.
When intraoperative EMI is likely, an ICD's high-voltage therapy should be temporarily suspended.
A magnet should always be applied to a pacemaker or ICD during surgery.
Backup pacing and defibrillation equipment should be immediately available.
All ICDs are also pacemakers.
