Abstract

The increasing use of beta and calcium channel blockers for management of cardiac comorbidities has led to more frequent complications in the postoperative period. Anesthetic interaction with these drugs can lead to delayed manifestations of features of toxicity, even when administered in therapeutic doses. We report a case with an uneventful intraoperative period but profound bradycardia and hypotension postoperatively, only relieved with high-dose insulin therapy.
