OPERATIVE REPORT PROCEDURE: Pacemaker generator replacement PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: 1. End-of-service with pacemaker generator. 2. Pacemaker dependent. POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: 1. End-of-service with pacemaker generator. 2. Pacemaker dependent. PROCEDURE: ANESTHESIA: Pacemaker generator replacement. MAC plus local. ESTIMATED BLOOD LOSS: None. FINDINGS: The explanted pacemaker is a St. Jude Medical model #5136, serial #605300. The chronic right ventricular lead is a St. Jude Medical model # 1246, T/58, serial #CB18308. The implanted pacemaker is a St. Jude Medical Zephyr XL SR, single chamber rate responsive pacemaker, model #5626, serial #1984162. Pacing parameters for the right ventricular lead, R-waves were not measured as he is pacemaker dependent, impedance 648 ohms, and pacing threshold 0.4 volts. PROCEDURE IN DETAIL: A time-out was performed prior to start of the operation. The patient was correctly identified as well as the procedure. With the patient under monitored anesthesia care, the patient's left upper chest and neck were prepped with DuraPrep and draped sterilely. A 1% Xylocaine was infiltrated locally over the more superior of the two
pacemaker scars. The pacemaker scar was incised. The subcutaneous tissues were divided with electrocautery. The fibrous capsule surrounding the pacemaker generator was opened and the pacemaker explanted. The lead was loosened and removed from the pacemaker generator and quickly attached to the pacemaker cable for pacing and testing, as the patient is pacemaker dependent. Pacing parameters were excellent. The lead was then inserted into the receptacle of the pacemaker generator and tightened down. The pocket was irrigated with antibiotic solution. Hemostasis was good. The generator was inserted into the pocket. The incision was closed in layers with continuous Vicryl sutures including the subcuticular layer. Dermabond and a Coverlet were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well and there were no complications. Sponge, instruments, and needle counts were correct. The patient was transported to the post-care unit in stable condition. POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: 1. End-of-service with pacemaker generator. 2. Pacemaker dependent. Electronically signed by Robert A. M.D. on 05-01-2018 at 11:45 am.

DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS PACEMAKER INSERTION Wound Care - You should be able to get back to your normal activities in 2 to 4 days. For 2 to 3 weeks, do not lift anything heavier than 10 to 15 pounds. Also, do not push, pull or twist too much. Do not lift your arm above your shoulder for several weeks. DO NOT wear clothes that rub on the wound for 2 or 3 weeks. Keep your incision completely dry for 5 days. Take sponge baths. Do not submerge incision into any water. After 5 days, you may take a shower and then pat the area dry. Always wash your hands before touching the wound. Follow-up - Your physician will tell you how often you will need to have your pacemaker checked. In most cases, it will be every 6 months to a year. The exam will take about 15 to 30 minutes. The batteries in your pacemaker should last 6 to 15 years. Regular checkups can detect if the battery is wearing down or if there are any problems with the leads (wires). Your provider will change both the generator and battery when the battery gets low. When to Call the Doctor - Call your physician if: Your wound looks infected (redness, increased drainage or pus, swelling, pain). You have an odor coming from the incision. You have openings at the edges of the incision. You have a temperature. You are having the symptoms you had before the pacemaker was implanted. You feel dizzy or short of breath. You have chest pain.
There are no stitches that need to be removed. Steri-strips of tape will begin to fall off in about 10 14 days. Your incision should begin to look better every day. Call your physician if you have any questions. Be sure that you have the phone number of your physician s office. I have received the discharge instructions, and had an opportunity to ask any questions for clarification. Nestor J. 05-01-2018 Patient Signature Date Diane H. RN 05-01-2018 Witness Signature Date
