What is a Pacemaker?

It is a small unit that helps your heart beat more regularly. It does this with a small electric stimulation that helps control your heartbeat. Your doctor implants the machine under the skin on your chest, just under your collarbone. It is hooked up to your heart with tiny wires.

You may need one to keep your heart beating properly. This helps your body to get the blood, oxygen and food that it needs. Some people just need a pacemaker for a short time (like after a heart attack) and may use a kind that’s outside the skin. The battery unit for this type can be worn on a belt.

DESUN Hospital has facility for "Minimally Invasive Heart Bypass" or Heart Bypass done through Small Cut (Small Incision).

Why would I need one?

• Your heart beats too slow or too fast.
• There’s a block in your heart’s electrical pathways.

How does it work?

• A pacemaker uses batteries to send electric signals to your heart to help it pump the right way.
• It is connected to your heart by one or more wires. Tiny electric charges that you can’t feel move through the wire to your heart.
• It works only when needed. It starts working when your heartbeat is too slow, too fast or irregular.

How do I live with my pacemaker?

• Check your pulse and keep a record of it the way your doctor tells you.
• Your doctor will check your pacemaker every three to six months. The battery in your pacemaker should last eight years or longer. When the battery runs down, you will need surgery to replace it (free lifetime warranty is given by the manufacturer).
• Take your medicine the way your doctors tell you.
• Tell your doctor if you have trouble in breathing, if you gain weight or get puffy legs or ankles, or if you faint, black out or get dizzy.
• Follow all instructions given by your doctor and keep your appointments.
• Carry an I.D. card with you so others know you have a pacemaker.
• Tell your other doctors and your dentist that you have a pacemaker. Certain types of medical equipment may affect how a pacemaker works.
• Tell airport security that you have a pacemaker.
• Household microwaves, electric appliances, most office and light shop equipment will NOT affect your pacemaker.
• If you work around industrial microwaves, electricity, cars or other large motors, ask your doctor about possible effects.

Can I use a mobile phone if I have a pacemaker?

You can use a cell phone, if you take these steps:

• Hold the phone to the ear on the side of your body opposite from your pacemaker.
• When your phone is on, try to keep it at least six inches away from your pacemaker. For example,Don’t carry your phone in your chest pocket over your pacemaker.

Payment Options:

• BY CASH OR CREDIT / DEBIT CARD.

Why patients like DESUN

Rated as one of India’s best hospitals

• DESUN is the youngest hospital in India to get the prestigious National Accreditation Board for Hospitals (NABH) accreditation from Government of India for excellence in quality of medical treatment and hospital services. The world over, NABH is considered equivalent to the JCAHO (Joint Commission for American Healthcare Organizations) or JCI (Joint Commission International) standards followed in USA for hospital accreditation. Of the 1,000-plus hospitals in India who applied to the NABH, over the 6 years since it was founded, less than 100 have been able to achieve the high quality standard required to get NABH accreditation
• In the lead story of the November 2011 issue of national news magazine THE WEEK, India’s best hospitals were covered, based on an All India Survey. DESUN Hospital was included in this prestigious list.
• The DESUN Pathology Lab has also received the prestigious National Accreditation Board for Laboratories (NABL) accreditation, for excellence in quality of routine and Superspeciality pathology testing. In Eastern India, only DESUN Pathology Lab has in-house facilities to perform Superspeciality pathology tests like PCR, Flow Cytometry, etc. This has huge benefits for DESUN’s patients tremendously because there is practically no waiting time to get test results when compared to other hospitals in Kolkata, who have to send these tests to Mumbai or Delhi and wait for 3 or 4 days for get results. Thus, there is no delay in diagnosis and DESUN’s patients get prompt and accurate treatment.

Ranked Topmost by both West Bengal and Central Governments

• There are only 7 hospitals in West Bengal considered by the state government as “Class 1 Hospital Service Providers” under the West Bengal Health Scheme (WBHS). DESUN is the first name in this list.
• There are more than 100 hospitals in Eastern India empaneled by the Central government under the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS). Of these, only 2 hospitals have been able to meet the high standards and have, therefore, been given the status of “Superspeciality Hospital” by CGHS. DESUN is one of the two.

Safest Hospital For Any Operation

• 2 of the major fears any surgeon has before any operation is that of OT infection and cardiac or heart complications during or after the operation. If OT infections occur or the patient develops cardiac problems, even the best surgeon will be unable to help. DESUN is the only hospital in Kolkata that has STEEL OPERATION THEATERS (Steel OTs) that drastically reduces chances of OT infection. After surgery, the patient is under the best care of doctors and nurses in the post-operative phase at DESUN. DESUN also has the largest Heart Institute in Kolkata to handle any cardiac emergencies during or after surgery.

Specialist Doctors’ Round The Clock

• With 28 medical departments, each having in-house specialist doctors, any problem during your stay at DESUN can be handled round the clock. You may be admitted for one particular surgery but if any other health problem comes up for which your specialist doctor needs advice, in-house doctors of other departments are available immediately.
