Transvenous pacemaker, ultrasound, fluoroscopy.Abstract
Patients with symptomatic bradycardia or hemodynamic repercussion secondary to bradycardia often have indication of temporary transvenous pacemaker placement. Its placement can be done blindly or with electrocardiographic guidance, but it is better if it is done with an image guide such as fluoroscopy (we can see the extra and intracardiac way of the electrode), or with ultrasound guidance (allows us to visualize the intracardiac way), it also has the advantage that is increasingly accessible and avoids radiation, in addition to ruling out the presence of one of the most serious complications such as hemopericardium.
