Abstract:

Bradyarrhythmias (defined as a heart rate <60 beat/min) occur frequently in the critical care setting. Most are related to underlying disease processes and the multidrug therapies administered. Because of the intense monitoring of these patients, recognition is generally easy. Examination of the ECG will allow diagnosis of the type of bradycardia based on the sinus node, atrioventricular node and the infra-Hissian conducting system. The extent of conduction system disease can be estimated and this has an influence on the prognosis. Bradycardias causing haemodynamic collapse require treatmen

Abstract:

Bradycardia is defined as a heart rate less than 60 beats per minute at rest or a decreased heart rate response to exercise. Causes of bradycardia include high vagal tone (most cases occur in asymptomatic and often fit and healthy persons), sinus node dysfunction, drug therapy, heart block, and myocardial infarction. A conduction system disorder is present when there is a delay in impulses from the sinus node reaching the ventricles or when some impulses do not reach the ventricles because of block within the AV node or distal conduction system (His-Purkinje system). Conduction system disorder

Abstract:

Laryngospasm is one of the most common complications of anesthesia in children. If not recognized immediately and treated promptly, laryngospasm may progress to complete airway obstruction with subsequent hypoxia, hypercarbia, bradycardia, and cardiac arrest. All anesthesiologists who anesthetize children must have a good understanding of when it can occur and how it is managed.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses device therapy in ACHD. Insertion of devices in these patients requires special consideration. Knowledge of underlying anatomy, previous surgical procedures, and vascular access routes; an understanding of problems likely to be encountered with lead placement in complex hearts; and obtaining a stable position are all crucial. This chapter discusses bradycardia pacing, implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and technical considerations for device therapy in ACHD.

Laryngospasm is one of the most vexing problems in anesthesia and perioperative care. The onset of which carries the risk of oxygen desaturation, bradycardia, aspiration, and cardiac arrest. In this chapter, the mechanisms involved in producing laryngospasm are covered in detail, and an anatomical review of both sensory and motor innervation is included. Risk factors associated with the development of laryngospasm, including those specific to the patient, the type of surgery, and/or the anesthesia techniques are discussed.

Abstract:

The majority of children with Down syndrome are friendly and separate from parents easily. The presence of comorbidities should be the area of focus for the anesthesiologist. Cardiac anomalies are commonly present, and the most common of these is common atrioventricular canal. Not all patients present with cardiac disease though, and some may present with gastrointestinal anomalies. These children also exhibit sensitivity to inhalational anesthetics resulting in bradycardia during inhalation induction. They tend to have very narrow auditory canals, making myringotomy challenging and resulting

Abstract:

Neurogenic shock is a pathophysiologic state of systemic hypoperfusion characterized by a significant decrease in systemic vascular resistance secondary to loss of sympathetic tone. Neurogenic shock is most commonly seen in the setting of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) but can also occur following significant brain injury. Interruption of sympathetic fibers causes loss of basal vascular sympathetic tone, commonly allowing unopposed parasympathetic tone. As a result, severe hypotension and bradycardia can further exacerbate neurologic injury and organ perfusion. Understanding the physiologic an

Abstract:

Beta blocker and calcium channel blocker overdose is a rare perioperative complication that manifests with symptoms of altered mental status, hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiovascular collapse. Although the clinical presentation is often similar, the underlying pathophysiology can differ between either cardiogenic or vasodilatory shock. Standard therapies such as calcium administration or beta-adrenergic agonists may be effective but often require much higher doses than normal. The evidence for targeted therapies, such as high-dose insulin infusion and glucagon, is mixed, but these should b

Abstract:

A bradyarrhythmia is defined as a rhythm disturbance that results in a heart rate of less than 60 bpm. It is important to note that many healthy people have a resting heart rate that is less than 60 bpm, most commonly due to sinus bradycardia (i.e. a rhythm arising from the sinus node but with a ventricular rate less than 60 bpm). Other forms of bradyarrhythmia are sinus node disease, sick sinus syndrome, first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block, second-degree AV block (which can be characterized as Möbitz type I (Wenckebach phenomenon) or Möbitz type II), and third-degree AV block (also known

Abstract:

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a group of autosomal recessive genetic disorders which represent the most common form of childhood neurodegenerative disease. Classically the disease was described according to the age of diagnosis resulting in four common phenotypes: (i) infantile or Santavuori-Haltia, (ii) late infantile or Jansky-Bielschowsky, (iii) juvenile or Spielmeyer-Vogt, and (iv) adult or Kufs. With advances in genetic mutational analysis techniques and improved understanding of NCL disease as a whole, disease classification now focuses on which of the known genetic defects is

Abstract:

Abnormal cardiac arrhythmias may be due to reentry, abnormal automaticity, or triggered activity. Reentrant rhythms may be microreentrant or macroreentrant. Ambulatory (Holter) monitoring is useful for the evaluation of both symptomatic and asymptomatic rhythm disturbances and their relationship to daily activity. Treadmill exercise testing is very useful in the evaluation of patients who present with bradycardia and symptoms of palpitations because it allows both documentation of the adequacy of heart rate response to exercise and the recording of the cardiac rhythm during exercise in a contr

Abstract:

The management of hypotension during spinal anaesthesia for caesarean delivery remains a challenge for anaesthesiologists. Close control of maternal haemodynamics is of great importance for maternal and fetal safety, as well as maternal comfort. Haemodynamic responses to spinal anaesthesia are influenced by aortocaval compression, the baricity and dose of local anaesthetic and opioid employed, the rational use of fluids, and the goal-directed use of vasopressors. The most common response to spinal anaesthesia is hypotension and an increased heart rate, which reflects a decreased systemic vascu

Abstract:

Accidental hypothermia is defined as a core temperature of <35°C and is uncommon. It may present in any age group at any time of the year. Hypothermia may be primary, where the cold injury is the major pathology, or secondary where patients develop hypothermia incidental to another illness. Since the severely cold patient may be in cardiac arrest, areflexic, and in coma, decision making regarding treatment, its initiation, and continuation, may be difficult. Hypothermia is classified into mild (33–35°C), moderate (28–33°C) and severe (<28°C), but these are not distinct clinical syndromes

Abstract:

Although neuraxial analgesia is available to the majority of parturients in developed countries, alternative neural blocks for labour analgesia are needed for medical, individual, and institutional reasons. Paracervical and pudendal blocks are usually administered transvaginally by an obstetrician. An injection of 0.25% bupivacaine using a superficial technique into the lateral fornixes gives rapid pain relief and has been found to have no negative effect on either fetal oxygenation, or maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Cardiac arrhythmias are common in hospitalized patients, with their incidence increasing in older patients and those with comorbidities. Cardiac arrhythmias represent a trigger for approximately 10% of rapid response team (RRT) activations. Of those, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly observed. Other common cardiac arrhythmias in the in-hospital setting include supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, and bradycardias. Members of the RRT should be skilled in the diagnosis and management of these common arrhythmias. This chapter presents an overview of c
