Abstract

Pacemakers, implanted cardiac debrillators and ventricular assisted devices are frequently used for managing heart failures and patients with rhythm disorder. While managing such patients coming for oncosurgeries and cancer treatment, there are several issues related to equipment characteristic whose understanding is a must for the anaesthesiologist. There is a possibility of malfunctioning of these devices, however timely intervention can prevent catastrophic outcomes.
