Can you insert an iv to the L arm with a pacemaker on the L chest?

Yes, you can insert an IV in the left arm of a patient with a pacemaker on the left chest, but caution is advised. It is essential to avoid the area near the pacemaker to prevent any potential interference with the device or damage to the leads. If possible, using the right arm or a different site may be preferable. Always follow your facility's protocols and guidelines when managing patients with implanted devices.
