Abstract：Objective To compare the clinical value of emergent temporary transvenous pacemaker placement which were implanted by the guidance of ultrasound and traditional electrocardiogram. Methods We performed a prospective single-center observational study enrolling all 210 arrhythmia patients needing emergent temporary transvenous pacemaker placement in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from July 2010 to December 2016. A total of 105 patients were treated using the echo -guided approach, and 105 via the electrocardiogram - guided approach. The duration of venipuncture, and the overall incidence of complications, and the time of successful pacing were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 210 patients were successfully paced, the two groups of patients were statistically significant(P <0. 05)in the puncture time, and the incidence of complications, and decision - making to pacing time. However, the two groups were not statistically significant(P >0. 05)between the sustained tachycardia and the catheter needing to adjust the location. Conclusion Emergent temporary transvenous pacemaker placement under ultrasound guidance is a safe, rapid and reliable method which reduces postoperative complications.
