ICD Patient Protocol
I am looking for information and policy and procedures regarding handling of patients in the gastroenterology lab who have implantable cardiac devices, particularly ICDs. Are company reps being called in, or does the staff use magnets to pause the ICD? Any information would greatly be appreciated.

First consult your hospital policy and procedure. Since the OR usually has an existing policy start with understanding what is current at your facility.
Then be sure your staff receives the appropriate education including magnet use and the therapies involved when a device rep or appropriate hospital staff member is called. My choice is always magnet use if possible.
