Colonoscopy with AF and ICD?

[Overweight11]

I've had several colonoscopies with AF and sedation, with no problems at all. But now - I have an ICD. Is an EP by protocol required to be present to switch it on and off before and after? If so, that must mess up their schedules badly.

I have a duel pacemaker and have had Colonoscopy twice, my pacemaker was not switch off whilst I had the procedure done. I would ask the department or your EP for advise about it.

Thank you Pita.

That's an interesting thought, HappyJo. Thank you. Everything is so much more complicated these days, isn't it.
