A normal heart supposed to generate 72 heartbeats per minute. This is however not possible in a person who has heart problems. Any person who is a victim of the heart problem, therefore, does not have many choices. They have chosen between implementing this technology (Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices) and losing their lives (Townsend et al. Basing the argument on this idea, a victim is most likely to take the risk of going through the surgery rather than losing their life. These are infections that are likely to rise after the surgery takes place (Proietti et al. People take anticoagulation for a long after the surgery which causes the problems with the blood clotting. Prevention of blood clots increases the risks of suffering from serious heart conditions like heart attacks and strokes (Tunkel et al.

The focus on the wound infection can thus be reflected on the fact that the CEID raises the issue. Therefore, in my understanding, pocket infection is caused by the surgery that is meant to treat heart disease (Ann et al. Pocket hematoma pocket hematoma is one of the most common complications of procedures involving cardiac device procedures. It is a potential risk factor of device infections, especially in patients on antiplatelet treatment or oral anticoagulation. Medically, pocket hematoma is defined as the complication arising after either a permanent pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implant (Kutinsky et al. The complications may vary in terms of intensity, but in most cases, they are nor very serious. There is a wide variance in incidents concerning pocket hematoma and bleeding complications, with the major cause being speculated to be the variability of the definition that different literature associate pocket hematoma with (Darouiche 2004).
