Always tell medical personnel about your pacemaker and show your identification card.

Pacemakers are powered by long-lasting lithium batteries. However, all pacemakers need to be replaced at some time. The exact replacement time for your pacemaker depends upon the type of pacemaker, the medical condition necessitating a pacemaker, lifestyle issues, and other factors. Various methods are used to indicate when the pacemaker needs to be replaced. Your physician will be able to determine the need for a new pacemaker during regular follow-up visits.

Most pacemakers will last between 8 and 10 years, after which the entire pacemaker or its battery and/or wire(s) need to be replaced. Replacing a pacemaker may be done on an outpatient basis or may include an overnight stay in the hospital.

The doctors working to save your life are entirely separate from the medical team involved in recovering your organs and tissue.
