Abstract
Controlling the heart rate (HR) to a proper level is an important part during off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, particularly in two aspects. First, the oxygen consumption during cardiac work could be decreased, which is obviously beneficial for the myocardium suffering from inadequate blood supply. Second, slow heart action makes it easy for surgeons to perform. There are some treatments for lowering HR, where neostigmine is not commonly used but usually effective, which had been discussed more than 50 years ago. However, there are adverse responses that cannot be ignored and are even dangerous, for example, severe bradyarrhythmia and overload of secretion in the trachea. Here, we report a nodal tachycardia case after neostigmine infusion.
期刊介绍:
The Heart Surgery Forum® is an international peer-reviewed, open access journal seeking original investigative and clinical work on any subject germane to the science or practice of modern cardiac care. The HSF publishes original scientific reports, collective reviews, case reports, editorials, and letters to the editor. New manuscripts are reviewed by reviewers for originality, content, relevancy and adherence to scientific principles in a double-blind process. The HSF features a streamlined submission and peer review process with an anticipated completion time of 30 to 60 days from the date of receipt of the original manuscript. Authors are encouraged to submit full color images and video that will be included in the web version of the journal at no charge.
