Comparison Between Early and Late Mobilization After Cardiac Device Implantation

Comparison Between Early and Late Post-operative Mobilization Following Implantation of Cardiac Pacemaker or Defibrillator

Mobilization after cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) implantation is highly variable between centers, some discharging home after 3-4 hours while others request bed restriction for 24 hours. Concern about lead dislodgements due to early mobilization are probably not justified. Bed restriction may result in considerable inconvenience to the patients.

Patients will be randomally assigned to early mobilization (after 4 hours) or bed restriction till the morning after the procedure.

Primary outcome: lead malfunction, patients' satisfaction

Inclusion Criteria:

All patients undergoing device implantation and are hemodynamically stable

Exclusion Criteria:

• hemodincamically unstable
• patient's request
