ABSTRACT

Introduction: The number of patients with implanted permanent cardiac devices requiring management with regional anesthesia guided by neurostimulation is now increasing. It has not been documented in the literature whether the use of this technique has an effect on the functioning of the pacemaker. Material and methods: Systematic review from January 1980 to December 2015, electronic databases were included: MEDLINE/PubMed, LILACS, EMBASE, Science Direct, Biomed Central, Tripdatabase, Cochrane Library Plus, DARE and Google, included gray literature. Results: The search yielded 648 potentially eligible articles; 641 were eliminated, applying a total of seven studies where a total of 99 patients were analyzed. Conclusion: The use of the peripheral nerve stimulator in patients with unipolar cardiac pacemakers can cause interference but not malfunction of the pacemaker. In bipolar pacemakers there is no interference or alteration of the functioning of the device. Peripheral nerves guided by neurostimulation in these cases it can be done safely.
