The indications for permanent pacing are, by and large, established. Considerable uncertainty still exists about when temporary pacing should be initiated not least in connection with anaesthesia and surgery. The indications for temporary pacemaker treatment are reviewed and, in addition, the two methods of temporary pacemaker treatment are discussed, viz the transvenous and the transcutaneous method.
