Hi,

"Pacemaker sentinelle; interprétation basée sur le rythme spontané"

What is a "pacemaker sentinelle"?

Thanks

Joanna

Hi, I found "pacemaker sentinelle" translated as "demand pacemaker": https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF03006788
What do you think?

Sentinel pacemaker gets some hits, but they appear to be translations from French.

demand pacemaker

Yes, that's how I understand the definitions as well: a pacemaker sentinelle only fires when there is no spontaneous action, and that is "on demand".

In response to Phil's request:

Il existe deux types de fonctionnement pour un pacemaker:
*les pacemakers qui sont à rythme fixe, qui fonctionnent en permanence et qui sont préréglés par le médecin, ceux-ci ne sont pas très utilisés.
*Le deuxième type de pacemaker est plus utilisé, il est dit pacemaker "sentinelle", c'est à dire qu'il est munit d’un système de détection de l’activité électrique spontanée du cœur, permettant de ne fonctionner qu’en cas de défaillance de celle-ci.

I - DEFINITION.
- Système électronique (ou pile). Il est destiné à remplacer ou suppléer la fonction de conduction auriculo-ventriculaire qui est défaillante.
- Il existe des pacemakers qui sont à rythme fixe, qui fonctionnent en permanence et qui sont pré-réglés par le médecin.
- Il existe des pacemakers dit "sentinelle", c'est à dire qu'ils doivent se mettre en marche lorsque le patient devient trop bradycarde.

The majority of pacemakers are DEMAND pacemakers. This means that they only pace ON DEMAND (e.g. when the heart rate is less than 60). To achieve this, the pacemaker has two functions – PACE or INHIBIT.

The settings of the pacemaker can be programmed to suit the patient's needs. A "demand" pacemaker will only kick in when the heart's own rate drops below a certain level. A "fixed rate" pacemaker will emit an impulse at a fixed rate, regardless of any external circumstances. These are the most commonly used types.

agree philgoddard : Could be, but I think you need references./You've persuaded me :-)

Thanks for reminding me that even if references are available at the most feeble effort to anyone who wants to know, they should still be included in a proposed answer :-)

Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I don't understand how "sentinelle" becomes "VVI pacing". Your second reference appears to be a translation from French.

VVI(R) is ventricular demand pacing Phil.
