Ventricular pacing occurs if no native ventricle activity for set time following atrial activity.Atrial pacing occurs if no native atrial activity for set time.atrial fibrillation or flutter.ĭDD – pacing and sensing the atria and ventricles Used in patients with chronic atrial impairment e.g.Similar to AAI mode but involving ventricles instead of the atrium.Used in sinus node dysfunction with intact AV conduction.If no native activity sensed for pre-determined time then atrial pacing initiated.If native atrial activity sensed then pacing is inhibited.Superseded by the NASPE/BPEG Defibrillator Code. Refers to presences of anti-tachydysrhythmia functions.Reflects the programming options available for pacemaker set-up or presence of rate modulation ability.Position IV: Programmability / Rate Modulation.more than one pacing site within the atria or biatrial pacing Allows indication of multiple stimulation sites within one anatomical area e.g.Sensors may measure and respond to variables including vibration, respiration, or acid-base status. Indicates ability for rate modulation designed to altered heart appropriately to meet physiological needs e.g.I = Sensed activity results in inhibition of pacing activity.T = Sensed activity results in triggering of paced activity.Refers to pacemakers response to sensed native cardiac activity.Refers to the location where the pacemaker senses native cardiac electrical activity.

The code is expressed as a series of up to five letters.The NASPE/BPEG Generic (NBG) Pacemaker Code was last revised in 2002, although many textbooks still use the previous version from 1987.Classification follows pacemaker code developed by the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology (NASPE) and the British Pacing and Electrophysiology Group (BPEG).Pacemakers are classified by the nature of their pacing mode.
