Temperature Changes During Electrophysiology Ablation in Veterans and 1-Year Success Rates: A Retrospective Pilot Analysis
Authors' conclusion
Core temperature declines during ablation. Greater temperature decline during general anesthesia was associated with lower 1-year ablation success rates.
Study context
- Population
- Veterans undergoing ablation procedures for cardiac arrhythmia under GA, Veteran's Administration Boston Healthcare System
- Participants
- 107 consecutive records
