Abstract

Diagnosis of Cardiac arrest in the operating room is relatively simple compared to other situations, as the majority of patients are closely monitored. Anesthetists and neurosurgeons should be aware that fatal arrhythmia can occur due to mannitol-induced hyperkalemia. We report a case of cardiac arrest type ventricular tachycardia on hyperkalemia induced by infusion of mannitol. Evidence is rare when dealing with cardiac arrest in neurosurgery, and more efforts are needed in understanding the etiologies, mechanisms and the specificities of its management.
