[Patient's complaints preceding severe bradycardia and hypotension during spinal anesthesia].
We reported an episode of sudden bradycardia and hypotension during spinal anesthesia, in which the patient complained of nausea before the bradycardia and hypotension were recognized by the monitors, such as, intermittent measurement of arterial pressure, electrocardiography, pulse oxymetry and continuous arterial blood gas analysis. We emphasize the importance of strict vigilance during spinal anesthesia.
