What would happen if a forgiving suffering from heart problems complains of having a heart problem, but population think it is anxiety disorder, they relay the doctor before they turn under anesthetic; and when they are below they develop a very serious arrhythmias?
How long would it be in the past they treated the heart problem, and what would the doctors response be in the OR?
CREEDHeart rhythm problems lower than anesthetic?
Depends on the arrhythmia and the associated signs and symptoms.
We monitor everyone's heart rhythm beneath anesthesia, and we are prepared to treat any arrhythmia.
When I put people to sleep, I own a cart full of medication, and a crash cart close at hand.
It's not uncommon to see arrhythmias, and we treat them without hesitation. The response, of course, depends on the temperament of the arrhythmia.
If it's a few PVC's, we watch them. If it's bradycardia, we contribute atropine. If it's SVT, we might push adenosine. We can even use temporary pacemaker in the OR if we hold to.
"Very serious" arrhythmias might necessitate other drugs or cardioversion or defibrillation.
After surgery, they'll see a cardiologist for further workup.
