Position

Supine.

3.  The electrode is attached to an external pacemaker for testing.

4.  An incision is made in the chest wall and deepened down to the fascia, creating a “pocket’ for the pulse generator.

5.  The pulse generator is placed in the pocket.

6.  Both incisions may be irrigated with a antibiotic solution and closed.

Instruments
