Abstract
As the number of patients and use of cardiovascular implantable electronic
devices have increased, anesthesiologists must understand the different types of
implanted devices and their management during the perioperative period. Caring for
these patients requires knowledge of the standard nomenclature used to describe device
function, the role of a magnet, and the differential responses a magnet can cause based
on the device type.
