Anesthesiology
We report a case of severe bradycardia during spinal cord implantation. A 43 year old female with a history of chronic refractory lumbar back pain presented for revision of spinal cord stimulator. Preoperative assessment was positive only for bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy. During the procedure, surgeon’s attempt to advance the lead through scar tissue elicited severe bradycardia (HR 28) resolved with glycopyrrolate. Compression of spinal cord secondary to difficult lead placement could be the cause of this cardiovascular event. Anesthesiologists need to be aware that severe bradycardia can occur during spinal cord implantation.

Internal Medicine
- Approximately 5.7 million adults in the United States have heart failure.
- 25% of individuals die within one year of diagnosis and more than 80% die within 8 years.
- Full adherence to medications may be as low as 30% in heart failure patients.
- Non-compliant patients are two times more likely to be readmitted to the hospital and have a three times higher mortality rate.
