1,2,3 -- Pacemaker noncapture can indicate the pacemaker output is set too low, a pacemaker lead is broken, the pacemaker battery is low or a high-pacing threshold exists. Actions the nurse should take when noncapture occurs include contacting the physician and describing the ECG strip; assessing the patient to determine the response to the noncapture event; documenting the event by printing an ECG strip and placing it on the patient’s record. Administering nitroglycerin or having the patient ambulate would not be indicated for pacemaker malfunction. Nitrogycerin is administered for chest pain.
