Abstract:
Sinus Bradycardia per se does not necessitate therapy. In fact, its presence often implies good health or a good prognosis. A 56-year-old patient, whose pulse rate was about 35 beats per minute and blood pressure was 80/50 mmHg, underwent total gastrectomy under general anesthesia. Ventricular dysrhythmia occurred after the second dose of gallamine managed with lidocaine, and after the administration of atropine and ephednne managed with hydralazine. Authors report this case with the evaluation of references.
