Supraventricular Tachycardia and Anaesthetic Management- A Case Series

Cardiac arrhythmias are commonly encountered in the peri-operative period, out of which atrial fibrillation has a relatively higher prevalence.Tachyarrhythmias are associated with various underlying factors like hypertension, heart disease, long-standing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hyperthyroidism, electrolyte abnormalities, and diabetes.Hence, understanding the pathophysiology and the management of cardiac arrhythmias is paramount for the anesthesiologist.This series would focus on managing peri-operative cardiac arrhythmias in non-cardiac surgeries, with a particular emphasis on atrial fibrillation.
