ABSTRACT
Vasovagal syncope is one of the most common causes of transient syncope during anesthesia for elective surgery in patients with a history of syncope and requires special attention and management of anesthetics. The causes and pathophysiological mechanism of this condition are poorly understood, but it has a benign clinical course and recovers spontaneously. However, in some cases, this condition may cause cardiovascular collapse resulting in major ischemic organ injury and be life threatening. Herein we report a case and review literature, regarding completing anesthesia safely during an elective surgery of a 59-year-old female patient with history of loss of consciousness due to suspected vasovagal syncope followed by cardiovascular collapse and cardiac arrest, which required cardiopulmonary resuscitation and insertion of a temporary pacemaker and intra-aortic balloon pump immediately after a fine-needle aspiration biopsy of a lung nodule located in the right middle lobe.
