[Emergency care during ambulatory vasectomy].
We describe a case of cardiac arrest during outpatient vasectomy. The possible mechanisms and need for monitoring are discussed. We recommend that the surgeon should be able to provide basic life support during outpatient vasectomy. Routine electronic monitoring during and after the procedure is probably not warranted and should at least await clinical studies on cardiac function and morbidity during and after the procedure.
