May warrant optimized perioperative analgesia after pulmonary surgery; leaves open prospective trials on arrhythmia prevention.
This review highlights the potential role of autonomic imbalance and postoperative pain in the development of supraventricular arrhythmias after pulmonary surgery, suggesting proper analgesia may minimize risk.
Vretzakis et al. (2013) conducted a review in Supraventricular arrhythmias after pulmonary surgery. Postoperative pain and autonomic imbalance was evaluated. Postoperative pain and autonomic imbalance may contribute to the development of supraventricular arrhythmias following pulmonary surgery.
