IN THE December issue of Anesthesiology, the updated American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Practice Advisory for the Perioperative Management of Patients with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED): Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICD) was published.1 The previous version of this advisory was published almost a decade ago in 2011.2 Much has changed in the field since 2011, and many more patients now are presenting in the periprocedural environment with ICDs and pacemakers.
