Temporary Pacemaker Implantation is a critical, short-term intervention used to manage abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) or heart blocks that require immediate stabilisation. At Sri Raju Heart & Skin Hospital, our skilled cardiology team offers this life-saving procedure using precision-guided techniques in our advanced cardiac care unit and Cath Lab.

This procedure involves the insertion of a temporary pacing wire into the heart via a vein, typically through the neck or groin. The wire is connected to an external pacemaker device that sends electrical impulses to stimulate the heart when it beats too slowly or irregularly. It is especially useful in emergency scenarios such as acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), drug-induced bradycardia, or after certain cardiac surgeries or procedures.

Temporary pacemakers are used while patients are under observation, during recovery, or as a bridge to permanent pacemaker implantation if needed. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia and real-time imaging, ensuring accuracy and patient safety.

Sri Raju Heart & Skin Hospital is equipped with round-the-clock monitoring facilities and a dedicated Intensive Cardiac Care Unit (ICCU) to provide continuous care during and after the implantation. Our team ensures that every step—from diagnosis to stabilisation and follow-up—is handled with compassion and expertise.

By providing timely access to temporary pacing, we protect patients from sudden cardiac complications, support safe recovery, and improve outcomes during critical moments. Our goal is to ensure that every patient in need receives swift, effective cardiac support—right when it matters most.
