Comment on How does death with a mechanical/artificial heart work?
Hours?!?
Yup, there is a cable running through their skin connected to battery packs outside of the body, so patients are always walking around with a bag containing the battery packs wherever they go.
If it only lasts a couple hours, how do they sleep for more than 3 hours?
A couple maybe a bit of an understatement. It’s likely about 8-10 hours
