In the Zhytomyr region in reperfusion Central regional hospital held the first of 2 unique heart surgery
Two unique heart surgery for the first time of reperfusion the center of the Zhytomyr regional clinical hospital named. A. Named. Patients installed implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. About it reports management of health protection of regional state administration. Last week the doctors repurposing centre held the first of two unique-heart surgery and installed implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in patients with the Novohrad-Volyn district. Head of the center Mykola Kushnir, often the cause of death is cardiac arrest caused by ventricular arrhythmias, which in most cases would terminate by pacing and defibrillation. The most important factor for survival is the response time. From the moment of cardiac arrest before irreversible changes of a brain it takes about 5 minutes. This period increases to 30 minutes, if time is held resuscitation in full. Unique operation conducted with the help of new equipment – cardioverter-defibrillator, which eliminates the need for human intervention and ensuring the execution of pacing and defibrillation within seconds after onset of the arrhythmia. Thus, thanks to this device, it is possible to increase the duration of life of patients with extremely life-threatening arrhythmias. Chief doctor of the regional hospital. A. Named Bogdan Leskiw notes that a year ago, such operations were impossible in Zhitomir. But thanks to the opening of the modern repurposing centre and professional team have managed to achieve significant results. "In the five months since repurposing center conducted the stenting of coronary arteries 143 patients with acute myocardial infarction, whereas in 2015 protestowali only 37 patients. From now on, we will actively use implanted cardoperated that come from the Ministry of health", – said Bogdan Leskiw. The operation for the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator are low-impact and safe for the patient. The technique is similar to the procedure of pacemaker implantation, as the operation is less traumatic, the need for deep anaesthesia no. Before the procedure, drugs are introduced that allow to reduce anxiety and pain, but the patient remains conscious and able to hear and even talk with medical staff. The duration of the procedure the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator, typically 60-90 minutes. It may depend on the type of the implanted device, the anatomy of the vessels and the heart, as well as the time required for optimal positioning of the electrodes in the heart chambers. In addition, such operations do not require specific rehabilitation. The duration of stay of the patient at the center is 2-3 days. After the procedure, the incision on the skin heals in about two weeks, during this period disappears discomfort in the implantation area. It is recommended that the incision was covered with a bandage for two weeks after implantation.
