Pace maker battery replacement to be done
Dear Mr Nagarajan,
Thank you for reaching out to the HexaHealth Doctor Community.
Regarding your query about pacemaker battery replacement —
This is a common and generally safe procedure known as pacemaker generator replacement. It is necessary when the battery, also called the generator, nears the end of its lifespan (usually after 5-10 years, depending on usage and device type).
Assessment: A detailed check, including device interrogation, is done to confirm battery depletion.
Procedure: The replacement is a relatively straightforward surgery, typically performed under local anaesthesia. Only the battery (pulse generator) is replaced; the leads (wires connected to the heart) are usually left in place if they are functioning well.
Recovery: Most patients are discharged the same day or the next day. Physical activity may be restricted for 2-3 weeks to allow proper healing.
Avoid heavy lifting or vigorous arm movements on the side of the pacemaker for at least 2–4 weeks.
Follow up regularly to monitor the new device's functioning.
Notify airport security and healthcare providers about the pacemaker.
Watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or fever after the procedure and report immediately.
