The insertion procedure,
recovery, and follow-up
The insertion procedure
The insertion procedure for your cardiac monitor does not require major
surgery. This simple procedure can generally be done within 15 to
20 minutes. Here are the general steps of an insertion procedure:
1. The incision is made. Local anesthesia is used to numb the incision
site. You can compare it to the numbing of your gums in your
dentist's office. Your doctor will make a small incision in the skin at a
location that is suitable for your situation.
2. The cardiac monitor is inserted. The cardiac monitor is inserted
under the skin. Your doctor tests the cardiac monitor to confirm that
it is operating correctly.
3. The incision is closed. Your doctor will close the incision and explain
how to care for your incision area.
