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 else can I help you with?
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

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.
What is the cpt code for insertion of a single lead implantable defibrillator pulse generator?
The CPT code for the insertion of a single lead implantable defibrillator pulse generator is 33249. This code specifically covers the procedure of implanting a single lead device, which is used to monitor and treat life-threatening arrhythmias. Always ensure to verify with current coding resources or guidelines, as codes may be updated or changed.
