What else can I help you with?
Where are pacemaker implant procedures performed?
Hospitals performing these procedures have access to cardiac catheterization facilities or operating rooms equipped with portable fluoroscopy units.
How do the procedures for temporary and permanent pacing systems differ?
The implantation procedure for the pacemaker leads is similar to that for a permanent pacing system, but the actual pacemaker unit housing the pulse generator remains outside the patient's body.
What should a pacemaker implant patient learn about his new device?
hat will indicate that the pacemaker is failing and when should emergency care be sought?How long will the battery function and when should it be replaced?Will there be notification of manufacturer recalls?
Is there any risk for a pacemaker patient and electrical muscle stimulation by a chiropractor?
Yes there absolutely is. To put it in it's most basic terms, the heart has electricity running through it. When you get an EKG at the cardiologists office, those lines are measures of the electrical activity of the heart. The pacemaker fires an electrical impulse when it detects that heart did not fire an electrical impulse on its own. By adding electricity via electrical muscle stimulation, you will run the very high risk of confusing the pacemaker. Just don't do it.
Can a general surgeon do pacemaker surgery?
A general surgeon typically does not perform pacemaker surgery, as this procedure is generally within the scope of cardiologists or electrophysiologists who specialize in heart rhythm disorders. Pacemaker implantation requires specific training in cardiac anatomy and electrophysiology. However, in some cases, a general surgeon may assist or perform the procedure if they have received the necessary training and experience. It is essential for such surgeries to be conducted by professionals with expertise in cardiac care to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.
Can hand held massagers be used on people with pacemakers?
The DC current used to operate a hand held massager should be safe for use for people with a pacemaker. It is always best though to check with your cardiologist and / or the manufacturer of your particular pacemaker.
What is the meaning of VVI mode pacemaker?
pacemaker is a pacemaker
What procedure that is contraindicated when a person is wearing a pacemaker?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically contraindicated for individuals with a pacemaker, as the strong magnetic fields can interfere with the device's function and potentially lead to serious complications. Additionally, certain electrocautery procedures, which use electrical currents for cutting or coagulating tissue, may also pose risks to pacemaker function. Always consult a healthcare provider for specific recommendations based on the type of pacemaker and individual circumstances.
What is the meaning of VVI mode?
pacemaker is a pacemaker
Can you have a operation if you have a pacemaker?
Yes, you can have surgery if you have a pacemaker, but it depends on the type of surgery and your overall health. It is essential to inform your healthcare team about your pacemaker, as they may need to take special precautions, particularly during procedures involving the heart or using electrosurgical devices. Your doctor will assess the risks and benefits to determine the best approach for your specific situation. Always consult with your healthcare provider before any surgical procedure.
