In this video, Heart pacemaker implant surgery is shown. A heart pacemaker is a small device that's placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms. During an arrhythmia, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body. This device uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. This may cause symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath or fainting. A pacemaker can relieve some arrhythmia symptoms, such as fatigue and fainting. A heart pacemaker helps a person who has abnormal heart rhythms resume a more active lifestyle.
Symptoms of arrhythmia
- Palpitations or rapid thumping in your chest
- Short of breath
- Fluttering, racing beat in your chest
- Feeling tired or light-headed
Causes of arrhythmia
- Smoking
- Heavy alcohol use
- Raised blood pressure
- Too much intake of caffeine or nicotine
Procedure – The artificial heart pacemaker system consists of one or two electrodes and a battery unit. The electrodes wires that are insulated nearly to their tips are inserted into a vein located under your collarbone. The pacemaker's generator sends the electrical pulses that correct or set your heart rhythm. A computer chip figures out what types of electrical pulses to send to the heart and when those pulses are needed. To do this, the computer chip uses the information it receives from the wires connected to the heart. It also may use information from sensors in the wires that detect your movement, blood temperature, breathing, or other factors that indicate your level of physical activity.
In the heart pacemaker implant surgery the area under the patient's collarbone is numbed, a small incision is made and a pocket is fashioned in the tissue overlying the muscle. The lead is placed in the right atrium or the right ventricle with the visual guidance of x-rays. The tip of the lead is then attached to the inner surface of the heart by small tines or with a small screw. If there is more than one lead, the process is repeated. The other end of the lead(s) is then connected to the pacemaker chamber, which is then placed under the skin. As there are no nerve ending inside the blood vessels and the heart, the patient usually does not feel the placement of the lead(s). Occasionally in heart pacemaker implant surgery, the leads are placed on the outer surface of the heart, a process called epicardial implantation. When leads are placed in this manner, the chest wall is opened surgically. The lead or leads are placed onto the heart surface, and the pacemaker chamber is implanted underneath the skin in the upper abdomen. Because epicardial implantation is more difficult and requires more extensive surgery, this procedure is used when leads cannot be placed inside the heart via the blood vessels. Closing the incision with sutures completes the heart pacemaker implant surgery. Patients are given antibiotics to prevent possible infection, and sent home with pain medications to alleviate post-surgical pain at the incision site.
Recovery post pacemaker implant surgery
- It is normal to have some pain in the area around the implanted pacemaker for a week or so after the procedure. Patients are given pain medications to alleviate this post-surgical pain. It is also normal to feel some numbness and heaviness around the pacemaker for some months.
- Patients can return to most of their normal daily activities a few days after the procedure. During the first weeks after the procedure, the patient is asked not to lift the arm on the side of the pacemaker implantation over the head. This precaution is to avoid dislodging the lead and to allow the lead to become firmly secured inside the heart. The patient is also asked to avoid heavy lifting, contact sports, and other vigorous exercises for a few weeks.
- The sutures at the incision site are removed between one to two weeks after the procedure.
- Most doctors allow their patients to return to work in one to two weeks, even though the incision may take several weeks to heal completely. Some doctors recommend that their patients subscribe to telephone monitoring services. The pacemaker signals which are transmitted to the doctor' office or the pacemaker clinic by telephone can be analyzed to make sure the pacemaker is functioning properly.
