    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric cardiology
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Child psychology

    Background:

    • Pacemaker implantation in children requires protection for the external generator.
    • Limited options exist for protecting implanted devices during physical activity.
    • Children may experience psychological distress or activity restriction due to device presence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a protective device for pediatric pacemaker generators.
    • To assess the safety and usability of the device during sports.
    • To determine the psychological impact of the device on children's activity levels.

    Main Methods:

    • A protective device consisting of a pad and holster was designed.
    • The device was used for external protection of pacemaker generators in children.

  • Device acceptance, usability during sports, and psychological effects were assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • The protective device was well-accepted by children and their caretakers.
    • No issues were reported during sports activities with the device in place.
    • Beneficial psychological effects were observed, encouraging normal activity and sports participation.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed protective device is safe and effective for pediatric pacemaker patients.
    • It facilitates participation in sports and positively impacts children's psychological well-being.
    • This innovation supports a more active and normal lifestyle for children with pacemakers.
