Does right atrial overdrive pacing prevent atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass surgery?
Atrial overdrive pacing and bradycardia prevention pacing were not effective in the prevention of AF after CABG.
The similarity between prehospital and ED vital signs, and lack of association between EMS interval and physiological deterioration, may support a strategy of direct transportation of TBI cases to specialist centers. Further research is necessary to identify patients at risk from deterioration during bypass and to investigate effects on mortality.
