Lɛ wi lan bɔt di smɔl smɔl tin we de wach yu at ritm sikrit wan! (Lɔp Rikɔda)?

Sɔntɛnde, yu kin fil sɔntin we strenj we yu at de bit? Ɔ yu kin gɛt tɛm we yu nɔ kin no natin wantɛm wantɛm? Sɔm pipul kin gɛt dɛn tin ya we nɔr kin gɛt pen na dɛn chɛst. Sɔntɛnde, i kin tranga smɔl fɔ fɛn wetin mek dɛn tin ya apin. Bikɔs we yu go to dɔktɔ, yu nɔ go sho dɛn sayn dɛn de wantɛm wantɛm. Na da tɛm de dis smɔl divays we a go tɔk bɔt, we dɛn kɔl Loop Recorder, kin ɛp wi. Mek wi tok abaut dis ditail, okay?

Wetin na Lɔp Rikɔda?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, Loop Recorder na smɔl tin we dɛn kin put ɔnda di skin na yu chɛst. I de rayt infɔmeshɔn bɔt aw yu at de rit ɛn aw i de rit . Tink bɔt am lɛk smɔl ditektiv we kin wach aw yu at de yuz ilɛktrik 24 awa ɛvride, fɔ te tri ia. Ɔda hat monita dɛn de we de jɔs luk yu at fɔ shɔt tɛm. Bɔt dis wan difrɛn.

Dis Lup Rikɔda kin rikodɔ di data ɔtomɛtik wan ɛn sɛn am to yu dɔktɔ we de mɛn yu at. We yu kɔntinyu fɔ wach am, dat kin ɛp fɔ no di tin dɛn we nɔ de apin na di at, we dɛn kɔl aritmia , lɛk atrial fibrillation . Sɔntɛnde, dɛn aritmia ya kin denja. Dɛn kin mek yu gɛt prɔblɛm dɛn lɛk strok ɔ yu at kin stɔp wantɛm wantɛm . Na dat mek i impɔtant fɔ no ɛn trit dɛn kwik kwik wan.

Dɛn kɔl dis Lup Rikɔda bak:

• Implantable Lup Rikɔda (ILR) .
• Monitɔ fɔ Kadyak we dɛn kin put insay (ICM) .

Dɛn kin put dis smɔl tin ɔnda di skin we de ɔp di lɛft say na yu chɛst.

Aw dis kin luk?

Dis Lup Rikɔda na wan rili smɔl tin we tan lɛk skwea . I tan lɛk smɔl pen drayv we yu de yuz. I lɔng lɛk 1-2 inch. Dɛn mek am wit mɛtal, i gɛt smɔl ilɛktronik sɔrkwit insay, ɛn batri we de las fɔ lɔng tɛm.

Dɛn kin put dis divays ɔnda di skin , ɔnda di skin. Yu kin jɔs ebul fɔ si di shep we i gɛt ɔnda di skin, bɔt yu nɔ go fil ɛni pen ɔ nɔ fil fayn.

Apat frɔm dis divays we de insay yu chɛst, yu dɔktɔ go gi yu wan smɔl aktiveta we yu kin ol na yu an . Dis de sink wit di divays. I go gi yu at rit.If yu gɛt sɔm kayn sik lɛk aw yu at de bit, ɔl wetin yu fɔ du na fɔ prɛs wan bɔtin na dis aktiveta. Dɔn di Lup Rikɔda go rikodɔ yu at aktiviti da tɛm de.

Wetin rili go apin frɔm dis?

Di Lup Rikɔda de wach di rit ɛn ritm we yu at de du. If ɛni ilɛktrik aktiviti we nɔ nɔmal de, i kin rikodɔ am ɔtomɛtik wan ɛn kip di data na mɛmori (jɔs lɛk mɛmori chip). Dɔn dɛn kin sɛn dis data to yu dɔktɔ we de mɛn yu at bɔku tɛm insay di de.

Dɔn bak, if yu fil ɛni simptom, yu kin tɛl dis divays bak fɔ "rɛkɔd naw" wit di aktiveta na yu an. Imajin, ivin afta yu gɛt di sik ɛn dɛn dɔn go, dis divays kin go bak ɛn rikodɔ di at aktiviti fɔ di las minit.

So, dis divays kin rikodɔ ɛni abnɔmal tin we yu de du, ilɛksɛf yu gɛt sɔm sayn dɛn ɔ yu nɔ gɛt am, ivin we yu nɔ fil natin. Wit dis data, yu dɔktɔ kin si ɛksaktɔli us kayn abnɔmal aktiviti yu at de gɛt ɛn us simptom i de kɔz.

Ustɛm a go nid sɔntin lɛk dis?

If yu at kin blo ɔltɛm ɔ yu kin gɛt sinkɔp, bɔt di tɛst dɛn we yu bin dɔn du trade nɔ bin dɔn si ɛni prɔblɛm wit yu at ritm ( arrhythmias ), yu kin nid fɔ gɛt lɔp rikodɔ. Dis kin ɛp yu dɔktɔ fɔ no ɛn trit ɛni at ritm we nɔr fayn, ɛn dis kin mek yu nɔ gɛt prɔblɛm dɛn we denja. I kin ɛp bak fɔ mek shɔ se yu fɔdɔm ɔ ɔda sayn dɛn nɔto bikɔs yu gɛt at prɔblɛm.

Dis smɔl tin we dɛn kin du kin tek lɛk 10 to 15 minit so .

Wetin kin apin afta dat?

Bɔrku pipul kin go na os kwik kwik wan afta dis ɛn dɛn kin go du dɛn tin dɛn we dɛn kin du ɛvride. Yu dɔktɔ go tɛl yu aw fɔ kia fɔ di wund na os ɛn aw fɔ kip am klin.

Sɔm kayn pen kin de rawnd di wund, ɛn i kin ivin luk blu. Dis na nɔmal tin, ɛn de diskɔmfɔt go dɔn insay sɔm dez.

Bifo yu go na os, di dɔktɔ go sho yu aw fɔ yuz di ɔda tin dɛn we de wok wit di divays. Dat na:

Wetin na di prɔblɛm dɛn we kin apin?

Dis na tin wae nɔr kin gɛt bɛtɛ risk , bɔt na smɔl pipul dɛm, dɛn tin ya kin apin:

• Infεkshכn : If infεkshכn de na di say we di divays de, dεn kin nid antibaytik . Sɔntɛnde, dɛn kin nid fɔ muf di divays to difrɛn say na di chɛst.
• Alɛji riakshɔn : Yu kin gɛt alɛji to sɔntin we de insay di divays. If dis apin, yu go nid fɔ yuz difrɛn kayn tin fɔ wach.
• Poor signal : Sɔntɛnde, di divays nɔ kin ebul fɔ pik di ilɛktrik signal dɛn we de kɔmɔt na di at fayn fayn wan. If na so i bi , di dɔktɔ go nid fɔ muf di divays to ɔda say na di chɛst.

Dis kin ambɔg di at?

Nɔ, di Loop Recorder na tin we rili sef , i nɔ go ambɔg yu at ɛni we. I nɔ go chenj di rit we yu at de bit, gi yu shɔk, ɔ du ɛnitin we go afɛkt di we aw yu at de wok. I jɔs de wach aw yu at de wok wit ilɛktrik ɛn rayt ɛnitin we nɔ fayn.

Aw a go no di tin dɛn we kin apin?

Yu Loop Recorder go sɛn data to yu dɔktɔ ɔtomɛtik wan , we go mek yu no we yu nid fɔ kam bak fɔ tɔk bɔt di rizɔlt.

Aw lɔng dɛn fɔ kip dis?

Yu go nid fɔ kip dis divays na in ples te yu dɔktɔ ebul fɔ no if yu gɛt di sik. Dis tɛm kin difrɛn frɔm wan pɔsin to ɔda pɔsin. If di rizɔlt sho se yu nid peshmaker ɔ implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), yu dɔktɔ go pul di lɔp rikoda we dɛn fit di nyu divays.

Di bateri we de insay dɛn lɔp rikoda dɛn ya kin las lɛk tri ia , so bɔku tɛm de fɔ no di ritm dɛn we nɔ kɔmɔn we kin jɔs apin wan tɛm insay di mɔnt ɔ sɔm tɛm insay di ia, we dɛn shɔt tɛm monita dɛn de nɔ kin ebul fɔ kech.

Ustɛm a fɔ kɔl di dɔktɔ ?

Kɔl yu dɔktɔ wantɛm wantɛm if yu gɛt ɛni wan pan dɛn sayn ya na di say we yu kɔt am:

Dɛn tin ya kin bi sayn fɔ wan kɔmplikeshɔn we nid fɔ gɛt tritmɛnt kwik kwik wan.

Wetin na di bɛnifit ɛn bad tin dɛn we wan lɔp rikodɔ gɛt?

Bɔku bɛnifit dɛn de fɔ wan lɔp rikoda. Dɛn na:

• lכng tεm monitarin : Dis kin rεkכd di at in ilektrikal aktiviti fכ te tri ia. Ɔda monita dɛn nɔ de du dis fɔ da lɔng tɛm de. Fɔ ɛgzampul, wan Holter monita de jɔs rikodɔ di aktiviti fɔ 24 awa. Monitor dɛn de bak we yu kin yuz fɔ tu wiks. Dat na valyu, bɔt dat nɔ kin bi inof tɛm fɔ kech wan abnɔmal ritm we kin apin lɛk wan tɛm insay di mɔnt. Risach dɔn sho se dis lɔng tɛm monitarin na big bɛnifit.
• Ɔtomatik rikodin : Ivin if yu fɔgɛt fɔ pres di bɔtin we yu gɛt sɔm sayn dɛn, dis go ɔtomɛtik rikodɔ di at aktiviti we nɔr nɔmal. Dis kin no bɔt abnɔmal tin dɛn ivin we yu nɔ gɛt ɛni sayn. Dis kin fayn ivin if yu nɔr no natin ɛn nɔr mɛmba am. Sɔm risach dɔn sho se dis divays kin no di kes dɛm we nɔ gɛt ɛni sayn fɔ atrial fibrillation.
• I izi fɔ yu : Wit di Loop Recorder, yu kin shaw, swim, ɛn go du yu ɛvride aktiviti dɛn lɛk aw i nɔmal. I ayd ɔnda yu klos, so nɔbɔdi nɔ go notis. I nɔ de distɛkt lɛk sɔm ɔda monita dɛn. Dis kin rili fayn if yu gɛt aktif wok ɔ aktif layf stayl.

Bɔt sɔm smɔl smɔl prɔblɛm dɛn kin de:

• Nid fɔ smɔl ɔpreshɔn : Dɛn nid fɔ put dis divays ɔnda di skin, so dɛn nid fɔ du smɔl ɔpreshɔn. Ivin if na rili smɔl tin, smɔl risk de wit ɛni ɔpreshɔn.
• Falz pɔsitiv tin dɛn: Sɔntɛnde, i kin mek i tan lɛk se yu gɛt atrial fibrillation we yu nɔ gɛt am. Bɔt yu dɔktɔ go nid fɔ du ɔda tɛst fɔ no if yu gɛt di sik.

Wetin na di difrɛns bitwin Lup Rikɔda ɛn Pesmɛka?
