A pacemaker is a small computer that sends electrical signals to the heart and helps your heart beat normally. A pacemaker also stores information about your heart rhythms. You may need pacemaker implantation if you: • Have a slow heartbeat (bradycardia). • Faint (syncope).

What is it? A pacemaker is a small battery-operated device that’s placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms. Some pacemakers are external and temporary‚ not surgically implanted. The primary purpose of a pacemaker is to maintain an adequate heart rate‚ either because the heart’s natural pacemaker is too slow‚ too fast or has an irregular rhythm‚ this problem is called arrhythmias. A pacemaker can also relieve symptoms such as fatigue and fainting along with blockages in

Materials Used In Pacemakers Image result for what is a pacemakerThe way how a pacemaker is constructed is very crucial to how it would function later. The materials used to construct pacemakers must be non-toxic‚ sterilisable and able to function in the environmental conditions of the body. Some of the fundamental parts of the pacemaker such as the casing‚ battery‚ circuitry and the leads are all made with biocompatible materials or non-toxic materials. Usually‚ the casing along with the lead is

Stephanie May ST: 103 Pacemaker Case Study: Stacey May My sister‚ Stacey May‚ had a pacemaker implanted at age 7 (1988). Occasionally throughout the 2 years prior to her surgery‚ she suffered with fainting episodes. One day while at cheerleading practice‚ she had fainted and was taken to the ER. At that time the doctor at the hospital found no reason for her fainting spells and she was sent home that night with cough medicine due to complaints of a sore throat. Later that night‚

Our pacemaker‚ like many‚ is disrupted by waves emitted by many other devices. This makes it so that people with pacemakers cannot use certain electronic devices such as cellular phones and MP3 players. Patients with implanted pacemakers are also unable to receive MRI’s and go through metal detectors‚ as these also interfere. The pacemaker‚ can greatly affect the patient’s working life‚ as arc welders emit waves that inhibit the pacemaker. Patients are also advised from lifting heavy loads and playing

have some input on the memo about patients with pacemakers and the new pacemaker technology out today that I would like to share. I have done a lot of research about this new pacemaker and I do feel that it is safe to use with an MRI‚ but with limitations. A pacemaker is a surgically implanted medical device that is installed to generate electrical impulses to treat irregular or stalled heart beats. If you were to put a patient with the old pacemaker in an MRI‚ there is a good chance the magnetic

The largest issue in the case of the pacemaker is whether it is right or wrong to make‚ of course‚ but in order to find our moral correctness compass we must define what Utilitarianism is and from whose standpoint we are looking at this issue. John Stuart Mill‚ who studied under Jeremy Bentham (the father of Utilitarianism)‚ defined Utilitarianism as “actions are right to the degree that they tend to promote the greatest good for the greatest number (Kay 1997‚ p.7).” Racking and stacking the positives

During the storage period‚ smaller decreases (P < 0.05) in the content of PUFAs were observed in the treatments that received dietary lycopene compared to those who were treated with exogenous lycopene (Table 1). The same pattern of changes was found in total SFAs and MUFAs. In view of these patterns of changes‚ although lycopene‚ both endogenously and exogenously added‚ was effective in slowing down the changes in FA composition of trout during refrigeration storage‚ fatty acids’ profile of fillets
