collections of data in which each record is stored in a certain format‚ allowing for sorting and organization of such data to generate information and knowledge. Therefore‚ in order to capture information and identify patients at risk for developing atrial fibrillation (AFib) after open heart surgery a database plan will need to be developed. The aim of developing this database plan is for early detection and implementing preventive measures to decrease the prevalence of AFib following open heart surgery

TYPES OF PACEMAKERS The classification of pacemakers into different types is based on the mode of application of the stimulating pulses to the heart. EXTERNAL PACEMAKERS: These are used when the heart block presents itself as an emergency and when it is expected to be present for a short time i.e during critical post operative periods and in patients during cardiac surgery‚ involving the valves or septum. * The pacemaker is placed outside the body. It may be in the form of wrist watch or in
