Temporary Cardiac Pacing

Developed for healthcare professionals and medical/nursing students who are interested in a deeper understanding of temporary cardiac pacing. This validated and CPD accredited app employs interactive real-time 3D exploration to aid e-Learning. Follow the interactive tutorial, answer the MCQ questions and complete the pacing exercise, in order to obtain your Continuous Professional Development Certificate with 2 CPD credit points. Use Apple Pencil or a soft rubber tip pen for better interaction. Temporary pacing is one of the first hands-on procedures physicians and nurses perform as residents and trainees. Confidence and experience gained from simulated training can help make first procedures successful and decrease risk to patients. This app uses interactive 3D anatomy, pacing tip placement and control of pacing parameters. Utilises electrophysiology simulation and live ECG signals to simulate the effect of the pacing device on the heart rhythm for realistic training. Users can perform a temporary pacing procedure, take readings and use pathologies they may not have had access to previously. APP FEATURES Interactive step-by-step tutorial with voice over covering Temporary Pacing MCQ tests Interactive exercise with different patient parameters each time you start the app User Guide Fully functional temporary pacing device with interactive control of Pacing rate Voltage Sensitivity Mode Free pacing wire placement Electrophysiology parameters SA node switch SA node rate AV node switch AV retro/antegrade AV node rate AV node refractory period AV node conduction velocity Escape rhythm Live single lead ECG display (choice out of 12 standard signals) Pause and scroll ECG with simultaneous action potential wavefront view Live 12-lead ECG display ECG calliper tool Simulation speed control DC Cardioverter Anatomy views with free 3D camera control Choice of displayed anatomy Medical Information links Languages: English, German, Spanish, Greek This app executes in landscape mode only TRAINING OBJECTIVES Understand what causes the ECG signals during a pacing procedure Understand how to set the pacing mode, voltage and sensitivity thresholds Learn best practices for temporary cardiac pacing Explore the 3D heart and gain spatial and temporal understanding of the pacing procedure. BENEFITS Mobility. Users can access individualised simulation training on their personal devices anytime and anywhere Guidance. Guided tutorials aid self-learning without the need for tutoring Model pacing outcomes. Normal vs. pathology overlays make it easy to visually compare differences in pacing that would otherwise need to be imagined Deeper understanding. Real-time interactive 3D anatomy and pacing wire placement provide spatial and temporal understanding of what causes the ECG signals Realistic simulation. Real-time electrophysiology mode and on-screen pacing controls for realistic training Measure learning progress. Test mode allows users to complete a case and receive feedback on performance, helping with retention and identifying knowledge gaps.
