title: [Temporary cardiac pacing in patients with acute myocardial infarction in the conditions of air medical service].
abstract: Temporary electrical cardiac pacing in the conditions of air medical service was used in 183 patients with myocardial infarction complicated with life threatening disturbances of cardiac rhythm and conduction. Immediate results of treatment, complications, and causes of lethal outcomes are presented. Two groups of patients were distinguished: in which traditional and improved by authors methods of temporary electrical pacing were employed. It was established that the use in urgent situations of improved techniques of control of endocardial electrode position, transesophageal, cutaneous, and atrial dependent endocardial ventricular electrical pacing allowed to decrease number of complications 2.6 times, and to lower mortality in acute period of myocardial infarction by 12.8%.
