心脏植入式电子装置(cied), such as 起搏器s and implantable defibrillators, 挽救和延长生命. They are amazingly reliable and effective, but even the best tool comes with risks. As many as 1 in 20 patients with a CIED develops an infection within three years of implantation.
The science is clear about what to do: Patients with a CIED infection should be referred to a specialist with expertise in device extraction, and the CIED and all its components should be removed. This recommendation is supported by the 美国心脏协会, 心脏节律学会, 英国心脏节律学会, 欧洲心脏病学会, 和欧洲心律协会. 尽管有这些建议, many patients with CIED infection do not undergo complete system 删除. Failure to remove the device is a life-or-death decision.
The AHA 全国CIED感染倡议 seeks to address the gaps in awareness, 检测, and appropriate treatment of cardiovascular implantable electronic device infection through a two-year initiative including a National CIED Infection Summit and National Quality Education Plan.

CIED感染工具包
Use this CIED感染工具包 as a resource both to learn about CIED infections and to increase awareness of the public health burden of CIED infection and urgency around timely infection identification and evidence-based treatment.
CIED infections can produce a major, negative toll on the lives of patients. 我们正在弥合认识上的差距, 检测 and guideline-based treatment of CIED infections with the 全国CIED感染倡议.
