[Children with implanted pacemakers. Recommendations for ambulatory follow-up and emergency therapy in case of pacemaker failure].
Permanent pacemaker implantation in children is a necessary therapy in case of life-threatening bradycardias, which cannot be treated satisfactorily by drugs. Because of the relative high frequency of complications in comparison with the pacemaker therapy in adults there is need for a consequent follow-up by a pacemaker-center, the family-doctor and the parents. Recommendations are given for the outpatient follow-up and for the emergency therapy in case of pacemaker-failure.
