So would/could/should you turn off the internal pacer and place your external pacer on the pt? And would you call this rhythm: tachypaced wide complex or just paced wide complex. Pacer or not technically it is still tachy correct?

I would just call it a paced rhythm with a rate of X. No need to find fancy terms, keep it simple. Arizona, I think celticcare was talking about pts he/she has been seeing at work and was not referring to the rhythm strip shown.
