Best Answer

You can look after a friend or family member who has a pacemaker by just keeping you eye on them, making sure they are breathing like they should be and just make sure they look and feel well in themselves.

Can people with pacemakers have an MRI and a Cat Scan?

People with pacemakers can have any CT scan. The answer for MRI is changing now. Older pacemakers were not MRI compatible. There are new pacemakers being installed that are MRI compatible (up to a certain size MRI strength). When you had your pacemaker installed, you should have received a card telling the technologist about your pacemaker and if it is safe to enter the MRI that will be used. If you did not get the card or have lost that card contact the office of the doctor that put your pacemaker in and ask them and also request another card.
