I just had a new generator put in my pacemaker and my hccoughing continues, i had this condition before the generator was replaced and according to the pacemaker manfacture this is a reason for the change. Why am i still having this condition?
I'm having what the doctor referred to as a "generator repair" on my pacemaker next Tuesday. How long does this usually take? What other complications might be found?
You could have isolated lead extraction if the generator didn't need to be changed. A lead could then be reimplanted without having to change the generator.
You should discuss with the electrophysiologist who implanted the device.
Hope that helps!
The implantable pulse generator IPG, radiofrequency, or RF unit is usually implanted in the lower abdominal area or in the posterior superior gluteal region. It should be in a place where patients can access with their dominant hand for adjustment of their settings with the patient held remote control. Complications with spinal cord stimulator range from simple issues to paralysis, nerve injury and death. The common complications include lead migration, lead breakage and infection.
It's possible but it's also a delicate procedure. Changing out the unit when the battery is low is pretty straight forward. But removing the leads is not. They aren't something that can be tugged out like removing a grape stem.
This is something to discuss with your cardiologist, express your concerns, fears. There must be a reason why the pacemaker was put in.
Under local anesthesia, the incision is opened, the generator is detached from the leads and thrown away, a new generator is attached, and the incision is then closed.
The replacement procedure is typically shorter and simpler than the original installation of the pacemaker. Once you are in the lab being prepped for the procedure, external pacing pads are placed...I wouldn't worry about your heart stopping.
Best of luck with your procedure!
Is is transvenous or AP external paced? It should be a while before a need a generator change. I know though.. the more work the pacer does, the quicker I will go through the batteries. What was put in as a back-up pacer has taken over 80% of the overall pacing. It has been the highlight of 2008. I am thinking of a next procedure if possible to removed the other 20% from my heart and hopefully not have to take the flecainide, diltiazem, coreg, lisinopril... anymore.
baby name generator and that might help. Just an idea....
A Sophia Arabella is a beautiful name! It makes her sound like a little princess. If you're set on Grace or Gracie as the first name, what may work is to use Gracie, because it's another syllable to add...what would you call it...I guess you could say flavor to the name if you will. To make it sweeter and flow and have all the parts work together like in a recipe you could say. And a longer middle name may work with it or not, it depends on your personal likes.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS), in the simplest form, consists of stimulating electrodes, implanted in the epidural space, an electrical pulse generator, implanted in the lower abdominal area or gluteal region, conducting wires connecting the electrodes to the generator, and the generator remote control. SCS has notable analgesic properties and, at the present, is used mostly in the treatment of failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome and refractory pain due to ischemia.
can I keep my leads stay intact, with the high-voltage lead in my right ventricle simply being used as a second pacemaker lead? Obviously I'm hoping I won't need a new lead, & am trying to avoid an added lead in the vein or (ouch) extracting & replacing the RV lead.
I've looked & looked and read about generator changes, but can't find this, and I'm not scheduled to see an EP for a looong time.
ve received a response from a manufacturer of negative ion generators, and they said the reason I am feeling better is probably simply due to the cleaner air, and that usually, electrical appliances produce POSITIVE ions. They said that a negative ion generator would have the same affect, but only silently. (I suppose it's expected that they would say this though)

hi guys, im a 21 year old male who, 2.5years ago, dropped a 40-50kg generator from shoulder height, onto the top of my knee, which was in a 90 degree position (crouching) at the time. as soon as the generator hit my knee, it locked up, and i fell over (from a crouching postion) due to pain levels, within an hour it had swelled to the point where i couldnt see the outlining of my kneecap. for the past 2.
The fact that your pacemaker generator is only lasting 6 or 7 years to me means that you must be in a paced rhythm fairly frequently-- sometimes they can set the lower rates lower then they were previously set so that you won't pace as often, which may help the generator life although sometimes you cannot do that.
Try the name genie. Type 'baby name generator' into google. It was one of the first links. It gives suggestions to go with the part of the name you already have picked out.
