• You are likely to crave cigarettes and may feel grouchy, restless, or sad for the first 2 to 3 weeks after you quit.2 Nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, or prescription medicines can help with these feelings and make it easier to resist cravings.
• Many people smoke to relieve stress. It helps to think ahead about what you will do when you have a stressful moment. For example, you might call a friend or take a walk around the block instead of smoking.
• You may worry about gaining weight when you quit smoking, but don't let this stop you. Instead, focus on the benefits. You will feel better and save money. Smoking is much worse for your health than gaining a few pounds.

Some people try to quit as many as 8 to 10 times before they succeed.2 If you start smoking again after you quit, don't give up. Each time you quit, even if it is just for a short time, you learn something and get closer to your long-term goal. You can do it!

On Smoking, Heart Disease and EKG Machines (Part 2): An Edan SE-601A 6-Channel ECG Product Review
As for the second part of this new article series entitled On Smoking, Heart Disease and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing here all about the risks and dangers of smoking and how it affects our heart.
Cigarette smoke not only affects smokers. When you smoke, the people around you are also at risk for developing health problems, especially children. Environmental tobacco smoke (also called passive smoke or secondhand smoke) affects people who are frequently around smokers. Secondhand smoke can cause chronic respiratory conditions, cancer, and heart disease. It is estimated that around 35,000 nonsmokers die from heart disease each year as a result of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.
How Does Smoking Increase Heart Disease Risk?
The nicotine present in smoke causes heart disease by:
• Decreasing oxygen to the heart.
• Increasing blood pressure and heart rate.
• Increasing blood clotting.
• Damaging to cells that line coronary arteries and other blood vessels.

On Smoking, Heart Disease and EKG Machines (Part 1): An Edan Product Review
It is a real fact that most people associate cigarette smoking with breathing problems and lung cancer. But did you know that smoking is also a major cause of heart disease for men and women?
In this new article series entitled On Smoking, Heart Disease and EKG Machines, we will be discussing here all about the risks and dangers of smoking and how it affects our heart.
About 20% of all deaths from heart disease in the U.S. are directly related to cigarette smoking. That's because smoking is a major cause of coronary artery disease.
A person's risk of heart disease and heart attack greatly increases with the number of cigarettes he or she smokes. Smokers continue to increase their risk of heart attack the longer they smoke. People who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day have more than twice the risk of heart attack than non-smokers. Women who smoke and also take birth control pills increase several times their risk of heart attack, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 20): A Cables and Leads Brand Review
As for the last part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will be discussing on about the lifetime precautions after an organ transplant.
Over the next six months to a year after an organ transplant, your health care team will probably reduce your medicine. You'll settle into the "maintenance phase" on a lower dose. At this point, you can usually relax some of your safety measures. You won't be as susceptible to infection. But you should still take precautions. Wash your hands regularly and limit your contact with people who are sick or recently vaccinated.
If you ever have an episode where your body rejects your new organ (organ rejection), your doctor may need to change your medicines or boost the dosage of your immunosuppressant medication. This is called "anti-rejection immunotherapy." Since your immune system will be further suppressed, you'll need to take those extra precautions again.
Your doctor may also occasionally need to change some of the medicines. Some may not work as well over time. New and more effective drugs may also come on the market that will replace your old ones.
Taking Your Medicine After an Organ Transplant
Living with an organ transplant usually means taking a lot of medication, probably for the rest of your life. Most people take six to 12 different medications daily, Punch says. It could be more. Taking so many pills may sound daunting.
"Some people are overwhelmed by the number of medications they have to take," says Richard Perez, MD, PhD, and the director of the Transplant Center at the University of California Medical Center at Davis. "But you have to remember that a lot of these patients were sick, and already on a complicated medication regimen anyway."
In fact, Perez says, many people find that their medication regimen is less complicated after a transplant.
Taking your medication is absolutely crucial to staying healthy. Here are some tips.
• When it comes to taking your organ transplant medicines, strictly follow your health care provider's advice.
• Use weekly or daily pillboxes to set up your doses beforehand, and keep track.
• Use alarm clocks, timers, or digital watches to help you remember your doses.
• Ask your family members to help you stay on your medication schedule.
• Keep your medicines away from children and pets.
• Store your medication in a cool, dry place.
• Keep a list of all your medicines somewhere obvious.
• If you miss a dose, don't assume you can double up with your next one.
• Keep track of how much medicine you have left. Always call the pharmacy for refills early.
• If your doctor agrees, take your medication with food to prevent gastrointestinal side effects.
• Set up your doses so that they coincide with other daily activities, such as brushing your teeth, eating lunch, or going to bed.
• Never stop taking a medication without your health care provider's ok.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 19): A ECG Paper Brand Review
As for the nineteenth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will just be continue on discussing about living with immunosuppression after an organ transplant.
What Precautions Do I Need to Take After an Organ Transplant?
Right after an organ transplant, you're particularly vulnerable. You'll be in the induction phase of immunosuppression. You'll be on pretty high doses; it's key that you take extra care. You should:
• Wash your hands often. Hand washing is an excellent way to reduce your exposure to germs. It's especially important before you eat.
• Avoid people who are sick. It's best to limit your contact with anyone who has a cold or any other infection like measles or chicken pox.
• Avoid people who have been recently vaccinated. Some vaccines, such as the new nasal flu vaccine or the measles vaccine, have a living virus in them. These could be a risk to people with weak immune systems.
• Stay out of crowded areas. For example, avoid malls and movie theaters.
• Don't take care of pets. Pets carry germs, so limit your exposure to them. You don't have to kick them out of the house. Instead, look at this as an excuse to make your spouse or kids clean out the litter box for a change.
• Don't garden. Some dangerous bacteria live in the soil. So let your garden go wild for a few months. Or make your kids do your weeding for you.
• Brush and floss daily. Both help keep your mouth free of infections. Have your teeth cleaned regularly.
• Don't ignore cuts or scratches. Clean them and put on a bandage. Get in touch with your health care provider if you have any signs of infection.
• Practice very safe sex. Sexually transmitted diseases like herpes can be a problem for anyone. But they can be dangerous for people who have had an organ transplant. Condoms may not be enough to fully protect you. Even saliva can expose you to colds and viruses. So be careful. Ask your health care provider about what's safe in your case.
Obviously, specific recommendations depend on your health and situation. Where you live can make a difference. If you're in a city, it's harder to avoid crowds. Living in the country poses different risks, such as exposure to farm animals or potentially unsafe well water, Friedman says. Ask your health care adviser for recommendations.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 18): A Electrodes Brand Review
As for the eighteenth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will be discussing on about living with immunosuppression after an organ transplant.
Your body's defenses are always on the prowl for germs and other foreign organisms. Unfortunately, this means that your body is not a very well-mannered host. It treats your life-saving transplanted organ just like it treats a mere freeloading germ. It attacks. Organ rejection is your own body's misguided attempt to protect you. That's why there's immunosuppression.
Immunosuppressant drugs can block the effects of these natural defenses. They usually allow your body to live in relative harmony with the new organ. The catch is that by blocking your defenses, you become more vulnerable to infections. It's the trade-off of getting a transplant.
"Living with a transplant is always about keeping the balance between rejection and infection," says Barry Friedman, RN, administrative director of the Solid Organ Transplant Program at the Children's Medical Center in Dallas. "You need to take enough of your medicines to prevent organ rejection. But you can't take so much that your risk of infection gets too high."
The good news is that doctors are much more successful at striking a balance these days. No, you won't have to live in a sterile bubble to stay healthy. And after the first few weeks or months, the restrictions on your life really aren't that hard to live with.
"In general, if you have reasonable and healthy habits, you'll be fine," says Jeffrey D. Punch, MD, chief of the Division of Transplantation at the University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 17): A EKG/ECG Supplies Brand Review
As for the seventeenth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing about transplant Surgery and the hospital experience.
Before You Leave the Hospital
Although you may be tired from your transplant surgery, it's important to start getting information about your post-transplant needs before leaving the hospital.
As you know by now, you will be on immunosuppressant drugs to prevent rejection after your organ transplant. You have to understand your medications and recognize side effects so you can report them right away, says Abouljoud. And know the complications of surgery, too, so you can tell if something is not right, he says.
This is also the time to address any concerns you may have about the amount of help you have at home, Abouljoud says. Remember: You social worker is integral to this whole process. She can aid you in finding the help you need, informing you of choices.
And ask now about what restrictions you will have, in terms of daily activity and driving restrictions, so you can get help needed to get through the day.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 15): A Schiller Brand Review
As for the fifteenth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing about transplant Surgery and the hospital experience.
Recovering From Transplant Surgery
How long you can expect to stay in the hospital after your surgery depends on a number of factors -- how sick you were when you went in and how well the surgery went, to name two.
Typically, a liver patient is sent to the intensive care or critical care unit for a time, Abouljoud says. But kidney patients, for instance, don't routinely go to ICU, says Penelope Loughhead, LMSW, a transplant social worker at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, speaking of the routine at her facility.
You will be allowed visitors as soon as your doctor decides you are well enough, and that is often sooner than you might expect. Depending on how you're feeling, it may be even the same day as your surgery, says Diane Kasper, RN, heart transplant coordinator at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix.
The emphasis is on getting you up and active soon after transplant surgery. Heart transplant patients, Kasper says, are often sitting up in a chair within one or two days.
Length of stay in the hospital varies, too. For kidney transplants, it's often four or five days. For kidney and pancreas, it may be seven to 10 days. After liver transplants, patients are often kept seven to 10 days.
Allow me to stop there for a moment to give a review on this yet another superb EKG machine device brand called Schiller. Also being listed in the EKGShop.com website, Schiller is regarded as one of the recommended ECG Machines brand available in the market today as being used by most doctors and medical hospitals or clinics.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 14): A Quinton Brand Review
As for the fourteenth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will be discussing on about transplant Surgery and the hospital experience.
After weeks, months, or perhaps years of waiting, the big day is here. You're headed to the hospital for your organ transplant surgery. While many of your questions about the surgery have probably been answered by now, you may still be wondering what exactly to expect.
Here's information from the experts, who emphasize that these are only guidelines. You are unique and your recovery and hospitalization experience may be, too.
The Organ Transplant Surgery
You, along with your family and friends, no doubt want to know: How long will this take? The time required to perform your transplant surgery depends on the organ being transplanted and a host of other factors, says Marwan Abouljoud, MD, director of the Transplant Institute at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
The actual operating time to transplant a liver ranges from about 5 to 8 hours, for example, although on some occasions it is less. If you've had previous surgery on that organ or a previous transplant, you have to add to that.
Kidney transplants generally take four to five hours, while pancreas transplants require two to four hours and combined pancreas and kidney can require five to seven. Other transplant surgery times differ so much that it's difficult to give a range. In those cases, it is best to ask your surgeon if he or she can estimate the time.
Allow me to stop there for a moment to give a review on this yet another superb EKG machine device brand called Quinton. Also being listed in the EKGShop.com website, Quinton is regarded as one of the recommended ECG Machines brand available in the market today as being used by most doctors and medical hospitals or clinics.
Enumerated below are its bestsellers products:
Quinton Q-Stress™ Exercise ECG System - Windows based operating system. Combines Quinton algorithms, unique baseline wander and muscle artifact filters, and 8000 samples per second to provide the highest ECG fidelity in the industry. Leads can be displayed in 3, 6, or 12-lead views. Standard protocols are preloaded for routine exercise testing. Easily add and customize protocols to meet specific testing needs such as Stress-Echo, Stress Adenosine, and Persantine.

Up to 7 user-definable ergometer protocols, each with a resting stage and up to 99 exercise stages. High-resolution thermal chart recorder produces quality reports ready for signature. Menu, entry and control functions are easily accessible on the removable PC-compatible keyboard.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 13): A QRS Brand Review
As for the thirteenth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing about looking at your lifestyle before an organ transplant and handling of its finances.
The answer varies by organ, says Abouljoud, who performs liver transplants. For liver organs, he says, you may typically get a call from the hospital two or three hours before they expect you there. For kidney transplants it may be between 24 to 30 hours' notice. But in general, how soon the transplant team expects you depends on a number of factors, including your health condition.
Other questions that are often asked include:
• Can you describe the risk of organ transplant as well as the benefits?
• Can you explain how organ transplant waiting lists work?
• Can you tell me the success rates for my particular organ transplant and age group?
• How many transplants does the transplant center I am going to do each year? (New federal guidelines require centers, with rare exceptions, to do an average of 10 a year to maintain federal funding.)
• How long is the waiting list for the organ I need at the transplant center I picked?
• What is the one-year survival rate at your center for this type of transplant? How does it compare with the national average? (National averages are posted at the web site maintained by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, called "U.S. Transplant.")
• How many surgeons are available to do my type of organ transplant?
• How long do I stay in the hospital after the transplant?
• May I travel, or do I need to stay within a specific distance of the center at all times?
• What follow-up tests will be needed and for how long?

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 12): A Omron Brand Review
As for the twelfth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing about looking at your lifestyle before an organ transplant and handling of its finances.
In addition to the direct medical costs, an organ transplant is associated with other expenses, such as lodging if you are traveling away from home to a transplant center, your lost wages if you have been working, airplane costs if you are traveling to a center, and extra child care fees if you have young children.
To cover these nonmedical costs, as well as some of the uncovered medical expenses, you can check out various charitable and advocacy groups, such as the National Transplant Assistance Fund or the American Kidney Fund. A lengthy list of organizations is posted at the consumer web site maintained by UNOS, called "Transplant Living."
If you decide to take the fund-raising into your own hands, sponsoring a car wash or asking for donations from your church or temple members, for instance, get advice first about legalities from your transplant team and your accountant. Different city and county regulations come into play, and the money you raise may be counted as taxable income, perhaps affecting your eligibility for assistance programs.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Organ Transplants
Even if you've tended to your mental, physical, and financial preparation, it's common to have a lengthy list of questions about your organ transplant.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 11): A Nihon Kohden Brand Review
As for the eleventh part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing about looking at your lifestyle before an organ transplant and handling of its finances.
Insurance coverage for an organ transplant varies widely. But one thing's nearly certain, says Marwan Abouljoud, MD, director of the Transplant Institute at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit: Most patients will have some issue about insurance.
Abouljoud counsels patients to work closely with their center's transplant team, particularly the social worker and financial coordinator, to figure out the funding sources.
Typically, the transplant center officials tell you what is covered by your insurance. Once you find out what part of the bill insurance covers, be aware there are other potential sources of coverage. Medicare, for instance, is available to those aged 65 and above, those who are disabled, or those who have end-stage kidney disease.
You can also check with your state's insurance commissioner to see if any plans might help out. For instance, certain people, even with pre-existing health conditions, can qualify for high-risk pools. Be aware that the premiums are higher than other plans and the coverage typically more limited. You can ask about guarantee issue plans, available in some states. These require insurers to offer coverage to individuals even with pre-existing conditions.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 10): A NewTech Brand Review
As for the tenth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will be discussing on about looking at your lifestyle before an organ transplant and handling of its finances.
Looking at Your Lifestyle Before an Organ Transplant
Often, organ transplant candidates need to make some substantial lifestyle changes, such as losing a moderate or large amount of weight or stopping smoking, says Spicer.
That can be hard for some, Spicer says. Candidates are often willing participants in the high-tech aspects of an organ transplant but may drag their feet on lifestyle changes or deny that changes are even necessary.
That's when you need to cultivate a little perspective, recommends Spicer, and decide on just what the transplant is worth to you.
Handling the Financing of an Organ Transplant
Whatever the organ, transplants are expensive. For instance, the first-year estimated costs for a heart transplant in 2005 was about $479,000, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), a nonprofit national organization that administers the country's Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network. In the same year, one-year costs for a kidney transplant were $210,000, while a combined liver-pancreas-intestine transplant cost $885,600.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 9): A Nasiff Associates Brand Review
As for the ninth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will be discussing on about how to get ready for your organ transplant.
Once you learn you are a candidate for an organ transplant, you may think you can sit back, relax a little, and wait for that phone call telling you it's time for surgery.
Nothing could be further from the truth, say transplant experts.
The time before the transplant is the best time to devote yourself to preparing mentally, physically, and financially. This article can get you started.
Getting Into the Organ Transplant Mind-set
An organ transplant's psychological impact must be addressed. While your transplant team can tell you what to expect, they probably haven't experienced it firsthand. It helps your health care team to know what you're going through, says Penelope Loughhead, LMSW, a transplant social worker at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston.
Along with sharing your thoughts and needs with your team, Loughhead aIso thinks it's beneficial to talk to someone who has gotten an organ like the one you are waiting for. When you're ready to connect with someone this way, ask your transplant team's social worker to help you.
While the waiting time for your organ transplant might seem difficult, you can use this time to come to grips with what's going on, says Gigi Spicer, RN, director of the kidney transplant service for the Henrico Doctors' Hospital in Richmond, Va. Typically, she finds, it takes candidates a few months to get used to the idea of the organ transplant and how it will change their life.
Though everyone waiting for a transplant needs time to cope with the fact that their health isn't what it was, Spicer advises candidates to adopt an optimistic attitude. Something like: "I am not the disease. I am still who I was. I just happen to have this problem, but my problem can be worked with and my life can be richer."

Also being listed in the EKGShop.com website, Nasiff Associates is regarded as one of the recommended ECG Machines brand available in the market today as being used by most doctors and medical hospitals or clinics.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 8): A Mortara Brand Review
As for the eighth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will be discussing on about the post-transplant medications and routine.
It's crucial to report side effects with post-transplant medications promptly, says Spicer. And it's important to keep underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, under control. If you lost a kidney because of diabetes, for example, and you don't keep your sugar under control, you are going to hurt your kidney again. The surgery has not left you invulnerable.
Transplant surgery is a trade-off, Kasper says. But if you realize the surgery is done to give you a better quality of life, it can make it easier to follow all the new health measures you are now expected to heed, such as taking your immunosuppressant medications on schedule.
Be sure to cultivate a strong support system, especially for right after the surgery, says Penelope Loughhead, LMSW, a transplant social worker at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. She suggests having someone learn about your medications with you, so they can be a safety net for you when you get home.
Allow me to stop there for a moment to give a review on this yet another superb EKG machine device brand called Mortara. Also being listed in the EKGShop.com website, Mortara is regarded as one of the recommended ECG Machines brand available in the market today as being used by most doctors and medical hospitals or clinics.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 7): A Midmark Digital ECG EMR USB Version Product Review
As for the seventh part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will be discussing on about the post-transplant medications and routine.
Post-transplant Medications
Like all transplant patients, you left the hospital with multiple medications. Perhaps some are to treat underlying conditions such as blood pressure and you are accustomed to taking them.
But the other medications are immunosuppressant drugs to keep your body from fighting off the new organ. A heart transplant patient can leave the hospital with 10 or 15 prescriptions, Diane Kasper, heart transplant coordinator at Mayo Clinic Hospital, told in an interview.
To avoid problems post-transplant, you must take the medications as prescribed. It can help if you ask your doctor or the pharmacist exactly what each medication is for and to describe possible side effects so you can be aware of them and report them.
Also ask your doctor or pharmacist if you should take the medications with food and if it's still OK to take your routine vitamins, calcium, and other supplements.
Your Post-transplant Routine
Expect to have an ongoing relationship with the transplant team. Depending on the type of organ transplant and your health status, you will be given a schedule of follow-up exams.
For example, if you had a heart transplant, you might meet with your health care providers twice a week for two months. Blood work is needed to follow your progress. Perhaps you'll go to a support group. And always, you have to be on guard against infection.
For the rest of their lives, all transplant patients have to watch out for infection, Kasper says. That means no sushi and no salad bars. It means avoiding contact with sick people. You also can't be around people recently vaccinated with live vaccines as that person is shedding the live virus.

All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines (Part 6): A Midmark Brand Review
As for the sixth part of this new article series titled as All You Need to Know About Organ Transplants and EKG Machines, we will be discussing on about the post-transplant, its benefits and challenges.
Most people share a common misconception after organ transplant surgery, according to Marwan Abouljoud, MD, director of the Transplant Institute at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
After their transplant, most people just do not understand the magnitude of the surgery they went though. Many think recovery is a matter of a few weeks.
Not true, Abouljoud has to tell them. Recovery is hard work, as well as coming to the realization that the transplant surgery carries benefits as well as challenges. Chief among the challenges, Abouljoud and other experts say, is that you have to become accustomed to your new medication regimen, designed to prevent rejection of the new organ. There's also a chance you'll need to come back to the hospital for something minor or maybe more surgery.
To make recovery go smoothly, here is what you need to know about your post-transplant period.
Emotional States Post-transplant
The good news: The majority of people feel better after a transplant, says Gigi Spicer, RN, director of the kidney transplant service at Henrico Doctors' Hospital in Richmond, Va.
A typical comment she hears is this: "I didn't know how badly I felt." With that increased sense of well-being, patients are often euphoric.
While that sense of elation is wonderful, Spicer says to remember that you can't push your body faster than it wants to go.
Allow me to stop there for a moment to give a review on this yet another superb EKG machine device brand called Midmark. Also being listed in the EKGShop.com website, Midmark is regarded as one of the recommended ECG Machines brand available in the market today as being used by most doctors and medical hospitals or clinics.
