Episode 23: Treating Pacemakers and Other Implantable Device Infections: Case Study Review and Implications

The use of pacemakers and CIEDs is becoming more and more common. While these devices extend and improve people's lives with minimal problems in most cases, for patients who experience infections related to their devices, gaps and delays in guideline-recommended care can lead to preventable illness, disability, and death. Data have shown that these kinds of gaps and delays in guideline-recommended care are all too common. Improved awareness and timely diagnosis are essential to help save lives. Listen to two speakers Dr. Jim Cheung and Ms. Ann M. Spalding as they review a case and have a conversation on the importance of timely CIED infection identification, and management.
