[Hypotension and bradycardia before spinal anesthesia].

I report a case of hypotension and bradycardia before spinal anesthesia in a pregnant woman with mild to moderate hypertension treated with nifedipine and methyldopa, scheduled for an elective cesarean delivery. She had the history of neurally-mediated syncopes. Two main factors (increased vagal tone and adverse effects of antihypertensive drugs) could explain the hypotension and bradycardia be...

Severe bradycardia and prolonged hypotension in ciguatera.

Ciguatera results when ciguatoxin-contaminated coral reef fish from tropical or subtropical waters are consumed. The clinical features that present in affected persons are mainly gastrointestinal, neurological, general, and much less commonly, cardiovascular. We report the case of a 50-year-old man who developed the characteristic combination of acute gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms ...

Management of Hypotension and Bradycardia Caused by Spinal Cord Injury. The Usefulness of Midodrine and Methylxanthines

Spinal cord injury is a devastating chronic condition resulting in temporary or permanent motor,sensory or autonomic dysfunction of the cord. The manifestation of spinal cord injury based onthe severity and involved areas could be different. Numerous studies have demonstrated thatbradycardia, hypotension, and orthostatic hypotension are present insignificant number ofpat...
