Özet

Intraoperative dysrhythmias commonly occur in the surgical management of congenital heart diseases. It may also be seen in other surgical procedures. The initiating factors for an arrhythmia during surgery is usually a transient insult such as hypoxemia, cardiac ischemia, catecholamine excess, electrolyte abnormality and acidosis. CAVB is a life-threatening dysrhythmia in all ages. We herein report a case of transient CAVB in a 30-month-old boy during living-related liver transplantation for bile duct paucity-associated liver cirrhosis. Moreover, we discuss the probable etiology and treatment of CAVB in liver transplantation.
