Pacemaker interrogation - Linda
Posted: Feb 23, 2012
Does this sentence below make sense? Particularly the part in all caps. It doesn't sound right. He started talking really slow and pausing, and I hear all the words, but it just didn't sound right to me. Any info or how I could change it if it doesn't make sense would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! "Interrogation of the patients defibrillator shows that the PACEMAKER PORTION IS IN THE BACKUP MODE SET DUAL CHAMBER WITH A BASE RATE OF 40, a paced A-V delay of 300 milliseconds with an atrial lead pulse amplitude of 2.5 volts, a pulse width of 0.5 milliseconds, and a lead impedance of 290 ohms."
yes it sounds right - hmmm
[ In Reply To ..]The words in () are mine to help explain:
"Interrogation of the patient’s defibrillator shows that the PACEMAKER PORTION (as opposed to the leads) IS IN THE BACKUP MODE (which is) SET (for) DUAL CHAMBER WITH A BASE RATE OF 40 (the rate it should never drop below), a paced ...A-V... (should be AV) delay of 300 milliseconds with an atrial lead pulse amplitude of 2.5 volts, a pulse width of 0.5 milliseconds, and a lead impedance of 290 ohms."
Also check to see if your client preference is to use abbreviations for milliseconds, et al.
Thank you! - Linda
