ABSTRACT
Epontol is well known as an ultra-short-acting intravenous anesthetic which can be used for minor surgery. This case report is to present the possibility of cardiac arrest while using Epontol in a patient with heart disease because its pharmacological action causes acute hypotension due to myocardial depression and histamine release. This 30 year old female who had a history of rheumatic fever with incomplete RBBB manifested by ECG, was admitted with vaginal bleeding and 500 mg of 5% Epontol was .administered for D % C. The patient appeared to have acute cyanosis immediately after Epontol administeration, followed by cardiac arrest. Despite cardiac resuscitation was performed adequately, the patient remained comatose for 1 year and 4 months and died of respiratory failure with sepsis.
