== [[Intrathecal drug delivery systems complication]]==
==See Also==
*used for delivery of short or long acting pain medications into the theca space
Most common Intrathecal medications
#Clonidine
#Bupivacaine
#Morphine
#Hydromorphone
#Fentanyl
#Baclofen
#Ziconotide
 
Complications:
#Respiratory depression from medication overdose
#Infection
 
*The device is not removed in an overdose but should be turned off.
*Insertion of a 22-guage needle into the pump reservoir can remove all medication in case device cannot be turned off
*Consider naloxone to reverse effects taking into account patients chronicity of treatment if they withdrawal
 
==[[Vagal nerve stimulator complication]]==
*Used to treat refractory epilepsy
*Implanted in the chest with a single lead stimulating the left vagus nerve.  It does not stimulate the right vagus nerve which innervates the heart
 
Complications:
#Hoarseness
#Shortness of Breath
#Pharyngitis
#Infection
#Parasthesias
#Insomnia
#Excessive Pain
 
==[[Bladder/Sacral nerve stimulators complication]]==
*Single wire system inserted into the S3 sacral foramen to stimulate sacral nerve and treat urinary incontinence
Complications
#Infection (early or late complication)
#Lead Migration
#Stimulator misfiring
 
==[[Deep brain stimulator complication]]==
*Implanted to treat Parkinson's disease and dystonia.
*Single lead systems implanted into the thalamus
Complications
#Infection (usually early after placement)
#Over or Under stimulation
#Lead Migration
 
==[[Gastric pacemaker complication]]==
* Inserted into the gastric musculature for gastroparesis management
Complications
#Perforation
#Infection
#Lead Migration


==[[Phrenic nerve/diaphragmatic stimulators complication]]==
==External Links==
*Implanted into bilateral phrenic nerves to treat rerspiratory insufficiency from poor diaphragmatic motion
Complications
#Pneumothorax (early after implantation)
#Infection
#Wire Migration
#Drive malfunction (causing diaphragmatic paralysis)
 
==See Also==
*[[Tracheostomy complications]]
*[[Pacemaker complication]]
