Abstract
This article presents a case of displacement of the ventricular electrode o f a DDD pacemaker occurring 3 years after implantation following a session of respiratory therapy. The incident provoked the loss of the ventricular p acing and left pectoral stimulation. The different techniques for achieving airway patency that can be used in respiratory therapy of patients with pe rmanent pacemakers are discussed.
