title: Bone cement implantation syndrome: a delayed postoperative presentation.
abstract: Bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) is a well-known entity but is poorly understood and rarely reported. It is an important cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality in the patient undergoing cemented hip arthroplasty. BCIS is characterized by hypotension, hypoxia, cardiac arrhythmias, and increased pulmonary vascular resistance and can lead to eventual cardiac arrest if not managed properly. We hereby report a case of delayed presentation of BCIS following cemented right hip arthroplasty.
