Abstract
We tested a total of 50 generators (37hardware base pacemakers and 13 software base pacemakers/37 VVI, 3 VVIR and 10 DOD) using electrosurgery unit. We concluded that pacemaker and its electrode should not be located between reference and active electrode of the electrosurgery, active electrode of the electrosurgery should not be touch the pacemaker, electromagnetic interference (EMI) protected monitors should be require all the time the electro-surgery is used, and complete re-examination of the all parameters of the generator should be done postoperatively to confirm the proper function of the pacemaker.
