Methods of anesthesiological support in the electrophysiological laboratory

Abstract

The article presents modern methods of anesthetic aids used in the case of such interventional and surgical interventions as implantation of a pacemaker, cardiac resynchronization therapy, cardioverter defibrillator and catheter ablation. The advantages, disadvantages and problematic issues of anesthesia are discussed depending on the type of intervention and the patient’s condition. Based on the analyzed data, it is concluded that anesthesia during interventions in patients with arrhythmological profile is a global practice and emphasizes the positive impact of anesthesia methods on the quality and safety of procedures performed.
