[Temporary pacemaker for cardiac operation].
For temporary pacing during open heart surgery, we made a device with a permanent VVI pacemaker by simply fixing a lead to the connecting plug. It is easy to make this device, which allows for beginning pacing quickly, and it dose not interfere with the operation.
