You can safely get a tattoo done by the traditional Japanese Teborimethod(hand tattooing) but a machine done tattoo is too risky as the electrical field of a tattoo machine can be misinterpreted by your ICD as anarrhythmia and cause it to shock you, which could kill you. The problem is finding an artist who can do hand tattooing. I searched the state of Texas for such an artist and was finally able to find one, and only a mere 50 miles from me in Tyler, Kelly's Tattoos. He uses a bamboo shaft, which he gives you when finished.

What precautions should be taken in prescription of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator?
The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator should not be used on patients who faint from causes other than a known life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia, to treat slow heart rates, or during an emergency.
Does implantable defibrillator use ac or dc current?
DC, unless you run an extension cord.
What care does a patient receive after implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator?
The patient is monitored for arrhythmias and to ensure that the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator is working properly. The physician also watches for signs of infection
What are the main components of a implantable cardioverter-defibrillator?
Similar in structure to a pacemaker, an ICD has three main components: a generator, leads, and an electrode
What is the CPT code for electronic analysis for sick sinus syndrome of a single-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator with reprogramming in person?
CPT: 93282
What is the CPT code for removal of a single lead implantable defibrillator pulse generator?
33243 Removal of single or dual chamber implantable defibrillator electrode(s); by thoracotomy33244Removal of single or dual chamber implantable defibrillator electrode(s); by transvenous extraction

What is an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator?
an electronic device to treat life-threatening heartbeat irregularities. It is surgically implanted.

Is an artificial pacemaker an implanted device that acts as an automatic defibrillator?
yes my gradpa has one and so yes it is

What is the CPT code for electronic analysis for sick sinus syndrome of a single chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator with reprogramming in person?
93289

CPT: 93282
How did the earlier version of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator work?
implanted in the abdomen and required open-chest surgery to connect the electrodes to the left and right ventricles.
What is the drug of choice for ventricular fibrillation?
implantable cardioverter-defibrillator ....they also use external defibrillators which are used by ambulance and emergency rooms.
Of what benefit is the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator to patients who have had a cardiac arrest or heart attack?
studies suggest that 20% of these high risk patients would die within two years without an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. With the device, the five-year risk of sudden death drops to five percent.
