title: [Perioperative management of patients equipped with cardiac implanted electronic devices].
abstract: Anaesthetists are in increasing frequency confronted with patients equipped with cardiac implantable electrical devices. A consensus conference standardized the handling of such patients for elective cases. However, this multidisciplinary approach is characterized by a complexity, which is hard to handle in emergency cases and even in nowadays clinical routine. However, risks associated with electrocautery or electromagnetic interference can be easily handled applying a significantly easier approach. Telemetric reprogramming and/or postoperative interrogation of the cardiac implanted eletronical device can be avoided in most cases.
