Abstract
CARDIAC arrest is a well-established complication of spinal anesthesia. 1-7 We present a case of spinal anesthesia-induced asystole in which onset and recovery could be recorded by means of Holter monitoring. Holter monitoring revealed that shortly after subarachnoid injection, a first degree heart block developed that, without any previous change in heart rate, progressed to a complete heart block. After successful resuscitation, a first degree heart block that persisted until 6 h after subarachnoid injection partly outlasted sensory and motor blockade.
