DOES THE PACEMAKER RATE ADDED TO THE INTRINSIC RATE OF THE PATIENT IN FIXED MODE?
In fixed mode, a pacemaker delivers electrical impulses at a set rate regardless of the patient's intrinsic heart rate. If the intrinsic heart rate is lower than the pacemaker's set rate, the pacemaker will override it and maintain the fixed rate. However, if the intrinsic rate exceeds the pacemaker rate, the pacemaker will not increase its output; it simply provides support when the intrinsic rate is insufficient. Thus, the pacemaker rate does not add to the intrinsic rate in fixed mode.
How is the pacemaker returned to your blood?
A pacemaker is implanted inside the skin of the side of a patient's chest, and has 'wires' running over to the heart. A pacemaker is not in your blood.
How do you treat atrial tachycardia in someone who has a pacemaker?
A lot depends on the type of pacemaker that has been fitted. Does the tachycardia seem excessive or only a slight increase? Unless the tachy is causing symptoms, eg, breathless ness then it may be normal for that patient.
Can a pacemaker patient ride an electric ropeway?
Yes
Can you do CPR on a patient with a pacemaker with a built in defibrillator?
r u dumb?!
Where can one buy a pacemaker?
Pacemakers are bought from medical manufactures by the doctor or hospital where the implantation surgery will take place. A patient would not be able to purchase a pacemaker on his/her own.
What is the Role of artificial pacemaker in heart if patient has a heart disease?
Pacemaker help to normalize the electrical impulses conductance of the heart. usually people with pacemaker has an abnormal impulse originated from their SA node. so, the pacemaker is placed so that the heart can contract at a normal rate and thus prevent arrhythmia.
How long is the hospital stay for a pacemaker implant patient?
Patients undergoing surgical pacemaker implantation usually stay in the hospital overnight.
How many leads may be necessary in a pacemaker implant procedure?
Depending on the configuration of the pacemaker and the clinical needs of the patient, as many as three leads may be used in a pacing system.
Where is a pacemaker implantation performed?
In a hospital where the patient can be correctly monitored.
Can a Pacemaker be turned off?
Yes, a pacemaker can be turned off, typically through a special device used by healthcare professionals. This is often done in cases where a patient is nearing the end of life or wishes to stop the device for personal reasons. However, the decision to turn off a pacemaker should involve thorough discussions with medical providers, as it can have significant implications for the patient's health.
What monitoring is done after a pacemaker has been implanted?
Once the procedure is complete, the patient's vital signs are monitored and a chest x ray is taken to ensure that the pacemaker and leads are properly positioned.
