Brain pacemaker surgery is particularly effective in treating Parkinson’s disease, and more and more patients with Parkinson’s disease are choosing to use surgery to treat Parkinson’s. So do you know anything about some of the precautions you should take after Parkinson’s surgery? Professor Wang of Neurosurgery will explain what patients should do after surgery. Li underwent stereotactic bilateral deep brain electrode implantation in May 2008 in self hospital for stiff limbs and motor retardation. In September 2012, the patient suddenly had difficulty in moving his limbs and came to our hospital to detect that the power of the pulse generator would be exhausted. He was admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of “Parkinson’s disease” for further diagnosis and treatment. Li had slow movements, high muscle tone in the extremities, mainly in the lower extremities, difficulty moving, and slow reaction. He was initially diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and was admitted to the hospital for treatment. After admission, he was actively prepared for the relevant examinations and preoperative procedures, and no contraindication to surgery was observed. Postoperatively, hemostasis, neurotrophy and symptomatic support were routinely given. The patient recovered well, and the general condition was acceptable without redness and exudation. The patient’s symptoms were relieved after turning on the pulse generator for debugging, and the wound was not removed. After asking Dr. Wang’s instructions: he could be discharged and the stitches were removed on an outpatient basis. Li experienced recurrence some time after the brain pacemaker surgery, and the examination revealed that the pulse generator was depleted and thus the chest pulse generator replacement was performed under local anesthesia. For this phenomenon, it is necessary to know more about some things after pacemaker surgery. What are the precautions after pacemaker surgery? Previous pacemakers may be affected by magnetic fields and patients should avoid close contact with strong magnetic fields, mainly in places with magnetic fields such as induction cookers and refrigerator doors. Nowadays, the latest pacemaker technology does not contain a “reed switch”, so the magnetic fields of household appliances do not affect it, and it is possible to undergo MRI examinations with high field strength without turning off the machine. Pacemaker surgery can reduce the dosage of anti-Parkinson’s drugs, thus reducing the specific complications and side effects of the drugs, but it is not recommended to reduce or stop the drugs immediately after the surgery. How often does a dead battery need to be replaced How often does a battery need to be replaced Previously, the life span of a neurostimulator was usually about 5 years, and the stimulator needed to be replaced when the battery was depleted. In recent years there have been many major technological breakthroughs and rechargeable brain pacemakers have emerged, extending the battery life to about ten years at a time. In addition, with the advancement of technology, the battery life of non-rechargeable pacemakers may be further extended, reducing the inconvenience of recharging. This will enable patients to treat their diseases for a longer period of time with a single pacemaker implantation, avoiding the surgical risks and trauma of multiple battery changes, and also reducing the financial burden of patients to a certain extent.
