Penile erection: a problem that persisted as an anesthetic complication

Abstract

We wish to highlight the case of a 24-year-old man of ASA grade I weighing 54 kg who underwent hypospadias repair under general anesthesia. This patient was a farmer by profession with good exercise tolerance. On preanesthesia examination, a heart rate of 50–55/min was observed and cardiology opinion ruled out cardiac abnormalities. Inj. midazolam 1 mg, inj. fentanyl 110 mcg, inj. propofol 100 mg, and inj. rocuronium 30 mg were administered to induce anesthesia and maintained with isoflurane at 1 MAC.
