[Value of the 2000 radiocom system for a SAMU in a rural area].

The department "Meuse" is a region with a low density of population (190,000 inhabitants). The creation of a "SAMU" is quite recent (February 1988). The financial means allowed were limited so they didn't enable us to develop a radio netword peculiar to the "SAMU". The arguments which made us adopt the use of the 2000 Radiocom as a basic means of communication for "SAMU 55" are: immediate creation; reduced installation cost; preservation of the medical secret and possibility of extension.

[Harmful interference between preoperative prophylactic cardiac pacemaker and cutting diathermy. Case report].

The authors report the case of a patient suffering the consequences of harmful preoperative between a prophylactic cardiac pacemaker system and cutting diathermy, resulting in irreversible ventricular fibrillation. After reviewing the different mechanisms responsible for this accident, they attribute the blame to a phenomenon of capture of electromagnetic currents with the pacemaker catheter playing the role of an aerial. They reconsider the indications for the use of prophylactic pacing and recall the safety precautions which must be respected at the time of simultaneous use of an external pacemaker and cutting diathermy.
