Dreadful Cardiopulmonary Arrest Following Simple Interscalene Block-A case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: We are reporting a case of cardiopulmonary arrest following Interscalene brachial plexus block in a 27-year-old short neck obese female patient who was an anticipated case of difficult intubation having fracture shaft Humerus(Left) posted for open reduction and internal fixation. Immediately after nerve locater guided Interscalene brachial plexus block, patient started desaturating and developed respiratory arrest, progressing towards cardiac arrest. It seems that it resulted from the activation of Bezold-Jarisch reflex and a related vasovagal syncope. We managed the case and patient was revived successfully. Keywords: Complication, Nerve locater guided interscalene block, cardiopulmonary arrest.
