An Unusual Case of Asystole Occurring during Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery

Abstract: Background. Symptomatic bradycardia and hypotension in neurosurgery can produce severe consequences if not managed appropriately. The literature is scarce regarding its occurrence during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Case Presentation. A 67-year-old female presented for left DBS lead placement for essential tremors. During lead implantation, heart rate and blood pressure dropped rapidly; the patient became unresponsive and asystolic. Chest compressions were initiated and epinephrine was given. Within 3… Show more

“…Sin embargo, ante la aparición recurrente del reflejo es necesario administrar epinefrina endovenosa. También se han utilizado terapias con anestésicos locales con el fin de bloquear el tronco del trigémino e inhibir el arco trigeminovagal 1,[16][17][18] .…”

“…Este se caracteriza por una bradicardia repentina con hipotensión, disminución de la inotropía y vasodilatación coronaria como resultado de la estimulación de los receptores cardíacos, que puede acompañarse de hipopnea, náuseas, vómito y diaforesis 17,[28][29][30] . Es un reflejo cardioinhibidor relacionado con estados de hipovolemia, el componente aferente es mediado por receptores cardíacos a través de fibras vagales tipo C no mielinizadas con terminaciones en el ventrículo izquierdo que son accesibles desde la circulación coronaria.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, there is only one recent report describing BZR-induced cardiovascular changes during neurosurgery. [ 3 ] Others have mainly observed it after spinal anaesthesia, shoulder surgery in sitting position under interscalene block and after post-operative head-end elevation. [ 1 4 5 ] The focus should be on preventing its occurrence by optimising intravascular volume during anaesthesia, especially during periods of head end elevation, mannitol administration and during craniotomy for raised ICP.…”
