Types of Complications and Associated Factors in Patients Undergoing Permanent Cardiac Pacemaker Implantation: A Systematic Review.

Background: Permanent Pacemaker (PPM) implantation is essential in treating cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders, especially in patients with heart failure. Although PPM has been proven to improve quality of life and prolong life expectancy in patients with cardiac conduction disorders, post implantation complications still often occur.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify types of complications and associated predictors in patients undergoing PPM implantation.

A Systematic Review of the Potential of Cold Compresses Therapy: Strategy for Preventing Hematoma and Alleviating Pain in Post Cardiac Catheterization Patients.

Background: Patients still frequently report complications after cardiac catheterization procedures, such as hematoma and pain. These complications increase the length of stay and hospital costs. Several studies have determined cold compress therapy's effectiveness in preventing hematomas and reducing pain in patients after cardiac catheterization.
