Notes:
Internal cardioverter–defibrillator implantation can be performed under local or general anaesthesia. Whether the technique of general anaesthesia influences the defibrillation threshold remains a matter of debate. We therefore compared, in a prospective, randomised clinical study, the effect of intravenous anaesthesia using propofol with inhalational anaesthesia using isoflurane on the defibrillation threshold in 68 patients scheduled for transvenous single-lead internal cardioverter–defibrillator implantation. Defibrillation threshold was measured at implantation and at device testing 1 week and 1 month after implantation. Patients acted as their own controls. Neither the anaesthetic technique nor the duration of anaesthesia was associated with significant changes in the defibrillation threshold. We conclude that in this group of high-risk patients, both types of anaesthesia are acceptable techniques for internal cardioverter–defibrillator implantation and testing.
