Abstract

Anesthesiologists are often encountered arrhythmia during general anesthesia. Sometimes, ventricular arrhythmia may threaten patient condition to be fatal. On the other hand, anesthesiologists experience that an arrhythmia which existed pre-operatively may disappear during general anesthesia. And after anesthesia, in most of the cases, the former arrhythmia may reappear. The authors experienced one such patient who had arrhythmia pre-operatively and normal rhythm during and after general anesthesia until the 7th post-operative day. At the moment, the mechanism of disappearance of arrhythmia during general anesthesia is not clearly known, but we like to use the medical term Cardio-Anesthesia Restoration for a case who had pre-operative arrhythmia which was abolished during and after general anesthesia.
