Welcome to this video on pacemakers. A medical marvel that has revolutionized cardiac care
0:05
A pacemaker is an electronic device that helps regulate the heartbeat, ensuring it remains steady and consistent
0:13
It is primarily used for patients with arrhythmias. A condition where the heart's rhythm is irregular by delivering electrical impulses to the heart
0:22
A pacemaker restores its natural rhythm, enhancing the patient's quality of life
0:27
A pacemaker consists of three key components. The pulse generator leads and electrodes
0:34
The pulse generator usually made of titanium contains the battery in the circuitry that generates the electrical impulses
0:42
The leads thin insulated wires connect the pulse generator to the heart
0:47
These leads have electrodes at their tips which are responsible for delivering the electrical signals to the heart muscle
0:54
There are different types of pacemakers. Each catering to specific cardiac conditions
0:59
single chamber, pacemakers have one lead and are used when only one chamber of the heart needs pacing
1:05
dual chamber. Pacemakers with two leads are employed when both the atria and ventricles require pacing
1:13
Finally, there are biventricular pacemakers which have three leads and are used for patients with heart failure as they help coordinate the contractions of both
1:22
ventricles the implantation of a pacemaker is a minimally invasive procedure that is typically performed under local anesthesia
1:30
A small incision is made usually below the collar bone and the leads are guided through a vein into the heart
1:37
The pulse generator is then placed in a pocket created under the skin
1:41
Once in position, the pacemaker is programmed to the patient's specific needs such as the heart rate at which it should start pacing
1:50
While pacemakers have significantly improved the lives of patients. There are certain precautions
1:55
One must take magnetic fields such as those generated by MRI machines can interfere with the pacemaker functioning
2:04
It is crucial to inform health care providers about the presence of a pacemaker before any medical procedure
2:10
Additionally, certain electronic devices such as cell phones should be kept at least six inches away from the pacemaker to avoid any interference
2:20
Pacemaker, ICD 10 Z 95.0 is a vital medical code used in health care to track and manage pacemaker patients
2:28
In this article, we delve into the details of pacemaker ICD 10 Z 95 0.0
2:35
Shedding light on its importance and relevance in the medical field. Pacemaker ICD 10 Z 95.0 is a specific code used in
2:44
the international Classification of Diseases 10th revision ICD 10 to denote the presence of a cardiac pacemaker
2:52
This code is essential for medical professionals to document and track patients with pacemakers accurately
2:58
Patients who have undergone pacemaker implantation, receive this code as part of their medical records
3:05
It serves as a reference point for health care providers to monitor the functioning of the pacemaker and ensure the patient receives appropriate care
3:13
In conclusion, pacemakers have revolutionized the field of cardiology, providing a lifeline for patients with arrhythmias and other cardiac conditions
3:22
Their intricate design and functionality ensure that the heart's rhythm remains steady
3:27
Enhancing both longevity and quality of life. With the aid of the CD 10 coding system
3:33
the medical community can accurately document and track pacemaker related care, further improving patient outcomes
