Anaesthetic management of a patient with sick sinus syndrome for vaginal hysterectomy
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Sick sinus syndrome is a generalised abnormality of cardiac impulse formation that may be caused either by an intrinsic disease of the sinus node, which makes it unable to perform its pacemaking function, or by extrinsic factorsIntrinsic factors include degenerative fibrosis, ion channel dysfunction, and remodeling of the sinoatrial node.Extrinsic factors can be pharmacological, metabolic, or autonomic.It commonly affects elderly persons.Abnormalities encompassed by this syndrome include sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest or exit block, combinations of sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodal conduction disturbances and atrial tachyarrhythmias. Diagnosis of sick sinus syndrome can be difficult because of its nonspecific symptoms and elusive findings on an electrocardiogram or a Holter monitor.Here, we present the perioperative management of an elderly patient with sick sinus syndrome posted for vaginal hysterectomy.

Randomized controlled study on comparative evaluation of 0.75% ropivacaine with 0.75% ropivacaine with dexmedetomidine in epidural anaesthesia in lower limb orthopaedic surgeries
Background: Regional anesthesia and analgesia has the potential to provide excellent operating conditions and prolongedpost operative pain relief. Epidural blockade is becoming one of the most useful and versatile proced...
A comparative study of haemodynamic parameters using Etomidate and Ketofol as induction agents
Background: Etomidate is routinely used for intravenous induction where haemodynamic stability is essential. Ketofol, an ad-mixture of Propofol and Ketamine, which also has a stable haemodynamic profile, is recently bein...
Comparison between intravenous dexmedetomidine and esmolol for induced hypotension during functional endoscopic sinus surgery and modified radical mastoidectomy
Aim: Bleeding is one of the major problems during surgery which reduces operative field visibility and recognition of anatomical landmarks becomes quite difficult. We aim to compare Dexmedetomidine and esmolol for contro...
