Abstract

During the perioperative period, anesthesiologists frequently observe cardiac tachyarrhythmia. Ventricular tachycardia is very rare in non-cardiac surgeries. However, it can be fatal when it occurs. Therefore, anesthesiologists should be watchful so as to not to miss ventricular tachycardia and take the appropriate steps to manage it promptly. We present a case, with a review of related literature, in which a non-sustained ventricular tachycardia was observed in a patient who visited the hospital for dental treatment.
