Temporary pacemaker insertion for severe bradycardia following pneumoperitoneum during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a case report.

Journal: BMC surgery
PMID: 33054804

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pneumoperitoneum to maintain a constant gas flow to assist various surgeries is known to cause severe bradycardia and has been linked to heart failure;; however, a recent study demonstrated that it is not linked to poorer surgical outcomes; accordingly, it does not require routine preventive measures. Thus, whether there is a link between sudden bradycardia development and surgical procedures is controversial. We report the case of severe bradycardia that occurred along with a complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) during peritoneum creation in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
