AbstractIn patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices, asynchronous pacing is necessary for surgeries with a risk of electromagnetic interference. Magnets are often used for asynchronous pacing. In this case report, magnet application to a Biotronik Evia DR-T pacemaker (Biotronik) programmed to a magnet response mode called automatic magnet mode (AUTO) led to a brief period of asynchronous pacing before reverting to prior settings, an unexpected response that was not revealed on the preoperative interrogation report. For Biotronik pacemakers programmed to the AUTO mode, changes in programming are needed for asynchronous pacing.Copyright © 2022 International Anesthesia Research Society.
