What Is a Permanent Pacemaker?
Permanent cardiac pacemakers use implanted embedded pacemakers to perform artificial heart pacing to achieve long-lasting pacing. For a variety of severe arrhythmia persistence affecting the heart's blood pumping function. There are two types of intravenous endocardial pacing and open thoracotomy or myocardial pacing. The former is widely used. Complications may include arrhythmia, acute cardiac perforation, infection, and local skin necrosis.

- What problems should patients with permanent pacemaker implantation pay attention to in life?
- Patients who place an implanted pacemaker should understand electrical appliances or other factors that may affect the pacemaker, and try to avoid them, such as
- 1. Electrocautery hemostatic device: It is one of the common interference sources. Or suppress the pacemaker or convert the pacing method to asynchronous pacing.
- 2. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator: Do not use in patients with pacing, and avoid unipolar pacing.
- 3. The defibrillator may damage the circuit of the pacemaker. The defibrillation electrode plate should be as far away from the pacemaker as possible. After the defibrillation, the pacemaker should be fully checked for normality.
