Abstract

Sub-Tenon's block has a superior safety profile and life-threatening complications such as cardiovascular collapse and brainstem anaesthesia are extremely rare. We report a case of cardiorespiratory collapse following bilateral sub-Tenon's blocks at the conclusion of a laser photocoagulation procedure under general anaesthesia. The cause was most likely brainstem anaesthesia. We explore and discuss the likely mechanisms and other potential differential diagnoses. It highlights the importance of maintaining vigilance following an eye block. Attention should not falter upon completing a block or at the conclusion of a case, regardless of its type or safety profile. This case also illustrates how the presence of general anaesthesia may obscure and delay the diagnosis of brainstem anaesthesia.

一例脑干麻醉后双侧腱膜下阻滞后心肺功能衰竭的病例。
腱膜下阻滞具有卓越的安全性,心血管衰竭和脑干麻醉等危及生命的并发症极为罕见。我们报告了一例在全身麻醉下完成激光光凝手术后进行双侧腱膜下阻滞后出现心肺功能衰竭的病例。病因很可能是脑干麻醉。我们探讨并讨论了可能的机制和其他潜在的鉴别诊断。这凸显了眼阻滞术后保持警惕的重要性。在完成阻滞后或病例结束时,无论其类型或安全性如何,都不应放松警惕。本病例还说明了全身麻醉的存在会如何掩盖和延迟脑干麻醉的诊断。
