Real Pacemaker Patient Bella is on the operating table, being prepped for pacemaker replacement surgery. The small med team hooks her up to a heart monitor, and BP cuff is placed. The nurse places the transparent mask on her face and tells her to breath deeply and count backward from 100... When the patient is resting the nurse starts ambu bagging her to keep her breathing steadily. The med team performs intubation using a regular ET tube to check her lungs. They start sterilizing her small scar area. Suddenly her heart flatlines. The nurse starts CPR and charges the defibrillator. but after the first round there is no response. They continue CPR and ambu bagging her. Following a few more defibrillations the patient's pulse returns to normal. Now she seems stable enough to continue the surgical procedure. Soon the old pacemaker is out and replaced with a new one. They begin to extubate her. There are some special parts in this surgery clip: Bella is a REAL pacemaker patient; Her original "abnormal" ECG curve is visible on the heart monitor; You also can see her ORIGINAL removed pacemaker! A must see for surgery, respirator and of course pacemaker fans!
