External epicardial pacemakers are pulse generators that deliver electrical impulses to the heart to regulate its rhythm. These devices are used to support patients experiencing cardiac conduction issues or sino-atrial node dysfunction, particularly during surgical procedures or in emergency settings.
These units function by transmitting electrical signals through invasive leads that are connected directly to the heart or inserted via a major vein. They are strictly intended for pacing support and are not designed to perform defibrillation or cardioversion tasks.
