Event or Problem Description
|
|
It is reported that the patient underwent a cardiac procedure, and temporary pacing wires were placed.Atrial leads frayed and fractured off at the end of the metal piece; therefore, pacing was lost.The ct physician's assistant (pa) stripped wire to directly expose and place back into the temporary pacemaker as a temporary solution.The pa had needed to strip further at least one other time.The ventricular leads are intact, but tenuous and appear as though they could fracture at any point in time.The permanent leads have already been placed with surgical plan to expose permanent pacing leads and place permanent pacemaker.The surgery date has been moved up four days.Attempts have been made and additional information on the reported event is unavailable at this time.
