AbstractSudden cardiac arrest following high spinal anesthesia (SA) in young and healthy patients with poor outcome has been reported. Extreme bradycardia, hypotension and/or asystole during SA has recently received worldwide attention. We report a high risk patient who developed cardiac arrest associated with two other episodes of extreme bradycardia, hypotension and verbal unresponsiveness during SA without adverse outcome.
