A unique effort gave life to a two and a half year old baby girl who had a Pacemaker implanted inside her heart by doctors of Seth Mannulal Jagannath Trust Hospital. Three doctors of Jabalpur implanted 5 x5 Sq. Cm pacemaker successfully in the heart of a two-and-a-half-year-old girl and successfully performed a unique effort.

This effort is termed unique because the heart of a child of two and a half years is too small to house Pacemaker.

Doctors said, "In this process, the pacemaker is placed on the heart, due to which he needs more energy to maintain heart rate, in which the pacemaker is a life of battery, due to which the patient has to get a new battery every three to four years.”

We have tried to resolve these problems in this new effort. The energy used to be inside the pace-maker's heart will be used, and battery life can increase to ten years and because the pacemaker is inside the heart, the patient does not need any surgery again.

"Generally, keeping the age of the children in mind, the pace-maker is put out of the heart. In our effort, we put a Pacemaker machine in the heart of the girl's heart, and a loop in her cord, the chord would not break even if the heart develops with age, "said Dr KL Umameshwar, Interventional and Pediatric Cardiologist.

Dr. Umameshwar said that this heart disease is one in every 22,000 children and such an effort has been done in India. This process has been used in 300 operations throughout the world till date.

Dr. Yatin said "We all had this idea that there is no fault of the child to be born from the Congenital Heart Block. He should get life like other children,and that is why we went along with this operation only under the expense of Rs. 30,000."
