Abstract
We describe the appearance of complete atrioventricular block (CAVE) w ith sevoflurane and nitrous oxide during the slow induction in a ten-y ear-old male patient with hypertension, renal dysfunction, and impaire d cardiac conduction. Sinus rhythm was restored following the washout of the anaesthetic gas. And CAVE recurred after the subcutaneous injec tion of lignocaine. The present report shows that sevoflurane should b e treated with care like other inhalational anaesthetics as regards th e effect on cardiac conduction.
