Abstract

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common arrhythmias, which is encountered during the perioperative period. Atrial fibrillation in perioperative period may lead to hemodynamic impairment and thromboembolic events resulting into significant morbidity and mortality. So it is very crucial for an anaesthesiologist to maintain the hemodynamic stability of the patient with atrial fibrillation and prevent further complications associated with it. Here we report a case of 58-year-old male with carcinoma glottis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with pre-existing atrial fibrillation status post mitral valve replacement planned for direct laryngoscopic biopsy.
