Is there a fast recovery after pacemaker surgery? How long will it take?

After the pacemaker is implanted, a very small surgical incision will be left, we have to say how long the recovery period of this surgery is, mainly refers to when the surgical wound can be completely healed, when the capsule can return to normal, this period Generally speaking, the left or right subclavian pacemaker pouch is done, then 10-14 days can basically heal, of course, young people may be faster, about a week, 7-10 days, some older people, It may take a little slower to recover because his healing rate is slightly slower than in younger people, i.e. about two weeks. Therefore, generally speaking, after the pacemaker pouch heals, the patient will basically enter the recovery period, and we do not recommend that the patient make large movements on the limb on the side of the pacemaker during this time, such as hyperextension, overlifting or weight-bearing, which may affect the healing of the pacemaker pouch.

How long it takes to recover depends on the individual's physical condition and the type of pacemaker installed. Anyway, I installed the smallest and most advanced leadless capsule pacemaker at present, and the operation took half an hour, and I was discharged from the hospital in two days to resume normal activities, and now I can exercise normally, everything is normal.

My wife chose the most advanced and smallest leadless capsule pacemaker for my mother-in-law.

After the implant surgery, I was able to get out of bed soon after the operation, and I was discharged from the hospital in 2 days, and my activities were not restricted. Compared with ordinary ones, the recovery is still super fast.

Recovery depends on the arrhythmia and has nothing to do with whether a pacemaker is implanted or not. Pacemakers only act as a substitute for bradycardia, and do not have a positive effect on the underlying heart disease that causes bradycardia.

I'm sorry, we can't do this problem, you can ask the people around you or go to the relevant unit for consultation, I wish you a happy life.

The owner called**, saying that the pointer of the fuel gauge would not move, I thought it was caused by the lack of fuel in the tank, but I didn't expect that this was obviously filled with oil, but the pointer of the fuel gauge was still motionless, what can I do.

Grit your teeth and hold on a little longer, a moment, a moment, after all, there is always someone who wants to win, why can't it be us, right?

You can do it in the way you want first, and then if you don't understand it, you can try again.

Most pacemakers have a design lifespan, such as single-chamber pacemakers are replaced in about 10-15 years, double-chamber pacemakers are replaced in about 8-10 years, and three-chamber pacemakers need to be replaced in about 5-8 years. If the number of uses is large, the time of use will be shorter, on the contrary, the use time will be extended, for example, some patients, occasionally the heart rate is relatively slow, the pacemaker working frequency is relatively low, the battery loss is low, and the service life will be relatively long.

The service life of a pacemaker is generally about 8-10 years, depending on the power of the battery. It's better to replace the battery before it dies.

Cardiac beaters can generally be used for two to three years, and we feel that it is bad, and we need to replace it when the time comes.

Disease analysis: Hello, the life of the pacemaker is about 10 years, and the pacemaker is divided into many kinds, including single chamber, double chamber, and triple chamber, and the manufacturers are different.

Guidance: Strictly speaking, patients with pacemakers should always be under the supervision of a doctor in order to understand how well the pacing is performing and to determine when the pacemaker should be replaced. Generally speaking, it is better to follow up every 2-3 months, and patients from other places can send an ECG to the hospital regularly due to traffic problems.

In the later stage of pacemaker use, follow-up should be strengthened, even once a month, so as to understand the battery consumption and replace the pacemaker with a new one in time. If the patient feels that his heartbeat has changed, or if he or she has symptoms of dizziness or even fainting, he should go to the hospital for examination in time.

There are several main reasons for pacemaker replacement:

The most common is when the pacemaker battery runs out, and we will definitely prompt you to make a regular replacement as soon as possible.

In addition, there are some patients with pacemaker complications, such as electrode dislocation or capsular infection, some patients may need to change the implantation route, or the implantation site, and such patients also need to have pacemaker replaced.

In addition, there are some patients who need to be upgraded, such as arrhythmias that may have been simple and slow, and implantation of a regular pacemaker is sufficient. If cardiac insufficiency or cardiac enlargement is present, it may be necessary to replace it with a three-chamber pacemaker or a pacemaker with a defibrillator.

Therefore, how long a pacemaker can be used depends on the use of the specific pacemaker and the changes in the condition.

In general, the lifespan of a pacemaker is about 8 to 10 years, and if the patient has a spontaneous heart rate, the pacemaker will live longer when it beats too slowly. Conversely, if the pacemaker is fully operational, the lifespan of the pacemaker will be shortened. You should pay attention to rest, don't be too tired, keep a happy mood, arrange your diet reasonably, achieve balanced nutrition, and don't be picky eaters.

If it is equipped with a state-of-the-art leadless pacemaker, it can last for almost 13 years. In contrast, the service life of the ordinary pacemaker for slow heart rate is 6 years 10 years, and the power consumption is not very stable.

1. What kind of disease did she diagnose? If atrioventricular block is caused by myocardial infarction due to coronary heart disease, the installation of a pacemaker is a better method, and the postoperative effect is better.

2. The operation is an interventional surgery and is not large. However, she has diabetes and may have to control her blood sugar before the operation, and wait until the blood sugar stabilizes before the operation.

3. The number of years of postoperative life: the key depends on the model and quality of the pacemaker, the imported pacemaker battery can be used for 20 years, but the battery can be replaced if there is no electricity.

I wish her a speedy **!!

First of all, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is the guarantee period or the lack of power in the pacemaker. According to you, it may be that the guarantee period has passed.

After the pacemaker is installed, it is necessary to have regular follow-up, about half a year or once a year, and at each follow-up visit, the manufacturer or doctor will tell you the current state of your pacemaker.

The following is a case-by-case discussion of possible states.

The pacemaker battery status shows OK, and there is no ERI (elected.)

replacement

index, i.e., change the index on a certain date). You can rest assured that regardless of whether the warranty period has passed or not, you can follow up once every six months. Pacemakers produced in recent years will have an estimated lifespan, and if it is more than 2 years, it is recommended to follow up once every 1 year.

At the time of the program-controlled follow-up, the pacemaker shows ERI, at this time you have two options, one is to replace it immediately, and the other is to wait for another 1-2 months. Generally speaking, even if the pacemaker shows ERI, he will work in a safe mode (VVI) for about three months, and there will definitely be no sudden loss of power. My suggestion is to replace it immediately.

The pacemaker shows depleted, the battery is depleted, and it needs to be replaced immediately.

3.Again, if the program-controlled battery shows OK, the pacemaker will not suddenly run out of power regardless of whether the warranty period has passed, so it is very important to have regular follow-up, at least once every 1 year. There is no need to wait for the guarantee period to be replaced immediately, there is no need.

Pacemaker replacement surgery is much less difficult than implantation surgery.

If you have used a standard electrode (IS-1), the doctor will test the relevant parameters of your original electrode on the operating table, if it meets the requirements, you can use the original electrode, just change the pacemaker, and it will be OK in 1 hour.

If it is an old interface electrode, you may need to replace the electrode and repeat the implantation (but this is rare, I haven't seen it so far) or you can use an electrode adapter.

5.Regular follow-up is important.

6.Take your pulse occasionally, and if it's lower than the rate set by your pacemaker, go to the hospital right away.

7.If the battery appears before the warranty period is reached, immediately call the doctor to contact the manufacturer's representative, and they will replace you with a pacemaker of the same or the same grade for free.

My father has had a single-chamber pacemaker for six years, do I need to change it?
