Resuscitation Availability - Do not perform induction testing
unless an alternate source of patient defibrillation such as an
external defibrillator is readily available. In order to implant the
ICD/CRT-D system, it is necessary to induce and convert the
patient’s ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
Unwanted Shocks – Always program ICD Therapy to OFF prior
to handling the device to prevent the delivery of serious shocks to
the patient or the person handling the device during the implant
procedure.
Rate-Adaptive Pacing – Use rate-adaptive pacing with care in
patients unable to tolerate increased pacing rates.
