Author(s): Meka Sree Pooja, Shaik M Hammed Murtaza and Metta Rajasekhar
Abstract: Bradycardia and hypotension are recognised complications of spinal anaesthesia, often attributed to autonomic imbalance and reflex mechanisms. We report a case of sudden, profound bradycardia in a healthy 35-year-old male immediately following bilateral inguinal hernia repair under spinal anaesthesia. The episode occurred as the patient attempted to move and observe the surgical field, suggesting a vasovagal response triggered by anxiety and physical straining. This case highlights the importance of vigilant postoperative monitoring and patient counselling to mitigate autonomic disturbances, even in American society of anaesthesiologist’s class I individuals.
