Safety of same-day discharge versus overnight stay strategy following cardiac device implantations: a high-volume single-centre experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The strategy of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations performed as day-case admissions has gained a wider acceptance overtime; however, data on safety are still limited. This study aims to investigate the safety of a same-day discharge protocol introduced in our hospital for the postprocedural management of patients undergoing CIED implantation.

Methods

Α prospective, non-interventional, non-randomised study performed in a single high-volume implanting centre for a 16-month period (March 2020 to June 2021). At total of 821 of 965 (85.1%) patients scheduled for elective CIED implantation were considered to be eligible for inclusion in the Short-stay Device Management Protocol. These patients were compared with a historical group of 932 patients
