A cardiac device is implanted to control irregular heartbeats and protect against heart rhythm disorders. One of the most commonly used cardiac devices is a pacemaker, which produces electrical stimuli to the heart to help it maintain rhythm. The total recovery time is 6 to 7 weeks. • Most patients can go home on the same day and few need to stay a day or 2 in the hospital. Arrange for someone to pick you up from the hospital and take you home after the procedure. • Remove the bandage when your doctor permits which is after two days to a week. • Start with short walks and gradually increase length and intensity. • Avoid wearing tight clothes that could irritate the skin over your implant. • You can start driving ordinary vehicles after 2 weeks as long as you don't have any symptoms of dizziness and fainting. Driving a large or passenger-carrying vehicle is allowed after 6 weeks. • Avoid moving the arm on the pacemaker side above shoulder level for 2 to 3 weeks. • Avoid activities like vacuuming, doing the laundry, pushing a trolley, hanging clothes, or reaching for items on the top shelf for at least 6 weeks. • You can return to light office work within 4 weeks and heavy work after 3 months. • At airport screening, notify security about device implantation and they may choose to screen you separately. It is important to keep screening wands away from implanted devices. • Always keep a Medical Device ID Card with you. • For treatment assistance in your country or abroad: • Email: [email protected] • Phone/WhatsApp/Viber: +91-9650001746 • Website: www.vaidam.com • Vaidam is an ISO and NABH accredited medical assistance company.
