Which of the following descriptions is correct according to the 5-position code of pacemakers?
  1. Position one (I) - chambers being sensed, Position two (II) - chambers being paced, Position three (III) - device’s response to sensing, Position four (IV) - programmability and rate of modulation function, Position five (V) - only for tachycardia funct
  2. Position one (I) - chambers being paced, Position two (II) - chambers being sensed, Position three (III) - device’s response to sensing, Position four (IV) - programmability and rate of modulation function, Position five (V) - only for tachycardia funct
  3. Position one (I) - chambers being paced, Position two (II) - chambers being sensed, Position three (III) - device’s response to sensing, Position four (IV) - for defibrillation function, Position five (V) - only for rate modulation
  4. Position one (I) - chambers being paced, Position two (II) - chambers being sensed, Position three (III) - device’s response to sensing, Position four (IV) - programmability and rate of modulation function, Position five (V) - for defibrillation functio
Explanation
Answer: B - Pacemakers are classified using a 5-position code, which describes the different types of pacemakers and their functions. Position one (I) indicates the chamber or chambers being paced. Position two (II) indicates the chamber or chambers being sensed. Position three (III) indicates the device’s response to sensing. Position four (IV) indicates the programmability and rate of modulation function. Position five (V) is only used for tachycardia functions.
