External pacing should not be relied upon for an extended period of time.
2.
Transcutaneous pacing ( TCP ), also called external pacing, is recommended for the initial stabilization of hemodynamically significant bradycardias of all types.

The greater use of atropine and epinephrine or external pacing may make transvenous pacing unnecessary by stabilizing patients early in the process of caring for the patient.

Daig's percutaneous introducers and external pacing catheters bolster the cardiac rhythm product line that St . Jude acquired when it bought the rhythm-management unit of Siemens AG in October 1994.

Thus, the scope of practice of a " Notfallsanit�ter " is based on a well defined education, which may lead to a wider range of accepted standard procedures, including intraosseous access, extraglottic airway, thorax punction, manual defibrillation and cardioversion, external pacing as well as more drugs including opiates.
