Abstract
|
|
|
|
Intra-articular administration of local anesthetics such as bupivacaine can produce short-term postoperative analgesia in patients who are undergoing shoulder arthroscopy. Yet bupivacaine can result in cardiovascular toxicity that can lead to cardiac arrest. We experienced a case of 63-year-old male patient with severe cardiac toxicity that led to ventricular fibrillation 15 minutes after injecting 0.5% bupivacaine into the patient’s shoulder joint for shoulder arthroscopy.
