| Abstract | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are increasingly being placed in patients worldwide. These patients pose significant perioperative challenges and are at an increased risk of complications; the suitability of ambulatory surgery in this patient population remains controversial. The purpose of the present review is to examine the potential challenges and optimal perioperative care of patients with an ICD. RECENT FINDINGS: The American Society of Anesthesiologists Advisory for the perioperative management of patients with cardiac rhythm management devices as well as the American College of Cardiologists/American Heart Association guidelines on perioperative cardiovascular evaluation and care for noncardiac surgery recommend that the tachyarrhythmia treatment algorithms of the ICD should be programmed off prior to surgery. However, these recommendations contradict those by the manufacturers and recent reports probably because they are based on data on early generation ICDs. Improvement in ICD technology and better understanding of ICD functions and awareness of potential electromagnetic interference-related problems can reduce ICD-related complications, and improve perioperative safety. SUMMARY: Anesthesia practitioners involved in the care of patients with ICDs should familiarize themselves with the response to magnets application on ICD function as well as understand the situations in which magnet use is not advisable. Perioperative communication with the patient's cardiologist and surgeon is critical in reducing adverse outcome. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
