Abstract:
A 49-year-old man was admitted to Baptist Hospital on September 1, 1990. For mitral valve replacement due to mitral regurgitation. He has been treated by implantation of artificial pacemaker due to complete heart block for 1 year ago. We have experienced anesthetic management above patient who was scheduled of MVR. The patient with a cardiac pacemaker (VVI type) could give anesthesiologist many associated problems during the operation and anesthesia. During anesthesia an anesthesiologist should be able to manage the problems which might occur because of a cardiac pacemaker by various origins.
