Device Clinic Essentials for the Care Team-Programming Basics Part 2 Video

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video provides an in-depth discussion on the programming considerations for lower and upper rate programming in implantable devices, such as pacemakers and defibrillators. The focus is on optimizing settings based on patient conditions like heart conditions, activity level, and age. Various programming features like sleep mode, rate drop response, and AV delays are discussed. The importance of avoiding inappropriate shocks, especially due to T-wave over-sensing, is highlighted. Additionally, the importance of remote alert programming for lead impedance, battery voltage, and heart failure alerts is emphasized. The module stresses the need for close collaboration with electrophysiologists and continuous monitoring to ensure optimal device settings and patient care.
