Impact of raising the upper extremity siding cardiac implantable electrical devices on postoperative safety.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The upper extremity siding cardiac implantable electrical device tends to have a limited range of motion during the perioperative period; however, the underlying reason lacks scientific evidence. This study aimed to investigate the safety of the two methods (stepwise or early) of postoperative early upper extremity rehabilitation.

Methods

We retrospectively investigated 650 consecutive patients with a new implantable pacemaker (PM), implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), or generator exchange between March 2017 and December 2020.The limitation program was conducted from March 2017 to March 2018. The intervention program started as a stepwise protocol in April 2018 and was switched to an early protocol in December 201
