Device typeTransthoracic pacing lead: A flexible wire with an electrode, insulated with non-conductive material except at its ends, that serves as an electrical conductor between the heart and an external temporary pacing/defibrillation device used to treat postoperative cardiac arrhythmias/cardiac arrests. The electrode end is attached to the myocardium. The other end initially is typically attached to a removable needle used to perforate the chest wall from the inside out, after which it is connected to a pulse generator, typically via an adaptor. This device is only used for temporary pacing of the heart and is removed once the patient is stable. This is a single-use device.
