Abstract
There are few reports of management of severe bradycardia with temporary cardiac pacing. We describe a 65-yr-old female patient who developed bradycardia and hypotension on two occasions during general anaesthesia for laryngoscopy. The first episode was treated with atropine, ephedrine, and colloid infusion and the second with a temporary pacemaker and ephedrine.
