Abstract
A 50-year-old man with muscle-invasive bladder cancer was scheduled for a robotic radical cystectomy. Four hours into the surgery, his electrocardiogram showed rhythm disturbances. Arterial blood gas analysis showed a serum potassium concentration of 6.6 mEq/L. Hyperkalemia was managed immediately with intravenous 10% calcium gluconate, insulin, and glucose administrations, and levosalbutamol was administered through the tracheal tube. Subsequently, normal sinus rhythm returned. The procedure was completed after conversion to an open surgery. The postoperative serum potassium concentration was reduced to 4.6 mEq/L, and the patient was extubated. The remainder of his hospital stay was uneventful.
期刊介绍：
A & A Case Reports, our new online journal publishing Case Reports, related Editorial Commentary, and Correspondence. Anesthesia & Analgesia 1 and Anesthesiology 2 recently announced that they were suspending publication of Case Reports. One reason is that Case Reports typically reduce the Impact Factor of a journal because they are rarely cited. Regardless of the merits of Impact Factor as a metric of journal worth, journals and their editors necessarily consider Impact Factor in strategic planning. At the same time, Case Reports are appreciated by readers for describing “real life” management of difficult or unusual cases not often encountered by practitioners. In a recent issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, Steven Shafer1 identified many Case Reports whose publication launched productive careers dedicated to solving the puzzle posed by an unusual observation in a single patient.
