About Pacemaker Surgery
The pacemaker surgery may have some risks like any other surgery, but patients can reduce the probability of risks if they do this surgery in a hospital equipped with special facilities and an expert medical team. The pacemaker consists of an electric circuit and a long-life battery. It is placed in the upper chest or abdomen and below the skin. The energy released from the battery turns into the electrical wavelength, which is guided to the heart muscle and causes the contraction. The wires help the battery to be aware of the heart rate, and when it is needed, the required electricity is sent to the heart muscle. Different types of pacemakers exist, and the doctor selects the best one, depending on age, heart disease, and underlying illness.
Types of Pacemaker surgery
- Single chamber. One lead attaches to the upper or lower heart chamber.
- Dual-chamber. Two leads are used, one for the upper and one for the lower chamber.
- Biventricular pacemakers that are used in cardiac resynchronisation therapy
Recommended for
- Patients whose heartbeat is lower than normal
- Patients with unnormal heart rates
Before Pacemaker Surgery
Before deciding for placing a pacemaker, some information about the heart is required such as • heart rhythm pattern by electrocardiogram (EKG) • heart rhythms for 24 hours (during regular activities) by Holter monitoring • Heart activity and oxygen saturation during either rest or exercise. Patients should tell a complete medical history to the doctor. Also need to let him know about all of the medicines and supplements (vitamins, minerals and herbal medicines) taken and allergies. The doctor will manage patients’ medicines because some medicines like warfarin, aspirin and Plavix should be stopped some days before the surgery.
During Pacemaker Surgery
Usually, the doctor administers sedative drugs and local. The surgeon cuts about 2 to 4 centimetres on the skin, and the stent is sent to the heart through a vein. Via X-rays, the tip of the wire will be placed in the right place in the heart. Patients will not feel the placement of the wire in the heart.
Recovery
Patients may feel uncomfortable or exhausted, which is temporary, if these symptoms continue or they feel shortness of breath or change in the heart rate, they should inform the doctor. Patients should not move the hand, which is near the pacemaker up to the next day. The doctor will adjust the pacemaker before leaving. Patients should try not to hit the pacemaker from the outside and avoid sleeping on the pacemaker, pressing it or running while having a pacemaker.
