Abstract

Complete atrioventricular block in the newborn occasionally requires emergency intervention when the heart rate is too low to provide adequate cardiac output. While medications are frequently ineffective, emergent implantation of a pacemaker is not always feasible and carries a significant morbidity. We report two cases of complete atrioventricular block in newborns treated immediately after birth with an external noninvasive pacemaker system.
