I had to show off and topped it out at 4000ml. Blew the nerves away and significantly improved my O2. They reset the indicator to 3000ml. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tizeye Posted July 20, 2022 Author Popular Post Share #36 Posted July 20, 2022 Everything done, waiting for Dr to officially discharge. Wife learned he was at a remote clinic across town today so probably will be his assistant, who nurses indicated was in earlier but no discharge. Presumably checking with Dr on details such as medication. Nurses are following up on that after I advised them Dr was at the Celebration (Disney area) clinic today. Meanwhile, view from my room. I didn’t think two helicopters would fit on that pad. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two, they reduced my ventricle assist to 50% during my last visit. It is the Abbott Quadra Allure multipulse with twin leads. The Abbott tech returned and working fine, printing out event reports for Dr. He also noted that Pacemakers are designed to focus on low pulse. Medication to control high pulse with Pacemaker kicking in when medication drops too low. The easy explanation. After he left, logged onto my patient portal and saw the various reports, including the labs. My WBC and it’s sub components were significantly elevated. They gave me IV antibiotics last night. Suspect wanting to get the infection down as the body works against what they inserted. Later this evening will do an ECHO when the daytime demand ceases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't worry about hackers encrypting our pace maker holding you hostage until you pay the ransom? Seriously.. is there security for the monitor? One search found this... The Hackable Cardiac Devices I know this is 'convenient' but is this technology safe? I didn't even setup the internet access for my washer or drier.
