A PATIENT WHO DEVELOPED GABAPENTIN-RELATED ATRIOVENTRICULAR COMPLETE BLOCK AFTER ANESTHESIA INDUCTION: A VERY RARE CASE

Nonkardiyak cerrahilerde, genel anestezi sırasında atriyoventriküler tam blok gelişmesi çok nadir görülen bir durumdur. Kardiyak patoloji veya kardiyak iletiyi etkileyen ilaç ya da metabolik predispozan faktörlerin varlığı ile atriyoventriküler blok gelişme olasılığında artış görülebilir. Bu durumda, kullanılan anestezik ajanlar da blok gelişimine katkıda buluna- bilir. Biz de bu olguda, sol dal bloğu olan ve gabapentin kullanan bir hastada genel anestezi indüksiyonu sırasında atriyoventriküler tam blok gelişen hastayı sunmayı amaçladık.

A PATIENT WHO DEVELOPED GABAPENTIN-RELATED ATRIOVENTRICULAR COMPLETE BLOCK AFTER ANESTHESIA INDUCTION: A VERY RARE CASE

In noncardiac surgeries, the development of complete atrioventricular block during general anesthesia is a very rare condition. The possibility of developing atrioventricular block may increase with the presence of cardiac pathology or drugs or metabolic predisposing factors that affect cardiac conduction and the anesthetic agents may also contribute. In this case, we aimed to present a patient with left bundle branch block, using gabapentin, and developed atrioventricular block during general anesthe- sia induction.
