In order to inject the cardiac monitor, you’ll have to undergo a minor surgery.
Before the procedure, you don’t have to do anything out of the ordinary. It is recommended that you don’t eat or drink anything after the midnight and take a shower with anti-bacterial soap. In case you take medicines, consult with your doctor. Also, if it is feasible, then bring along someone reliable and be prepared to spend the rest of the day at the facility.
During the procedure, you will be first given a local anesthetic to numb the skin. The doctor will then make a small incision in your skin, usually in the left upper chest. Then, the device will be inserted and the incision will be carefully closed with sutures and a bandage will be put on that area.
While most procedures go on smoothly, sometime problems such as bleeding, bruising, infection, mild pain, and damage to your blood vessels may occur.
So, make sure that you get the procedure done by specialists.
