Abstract:
Anesthesiologists are often encountered arrhythmia during general anesthesia. Sometimes, ventricular arrhythmia may threaten patient condition to be fatal. On the other hand, anesthesiologists experience that an arrhythmia which existed pre-operatively may disappear during general anesthesia. And after anesthesia, in most of the cases, the former arrhythmia may reappear. The authors experienced one such patient who had arrhythmia pre-operatively and normal rhythm during and after general anesthesia until the 7th post-operative day. At the moment, the mechanism of disappearance of arrhythmia during general anesthesia is not clearly known, but we like to use the medical term Cardio-Anesthesia Restoration for a case who had pre-operative arrhythmia which was abolished during and after general anesthesia.
