This case involved a pulmonary thromboembolism, which originated from the lower extremity. A 68-year-old female, with a femur neck fracture, underwent spinal anesthesia with 0.5% heavy bupivacaine 11 mg for total hip arthroplasty. Ten minutes after the induction of spinal anesthesia, dyspnea, tachycardia and hypotension appeared. Under the impression of a pulmonary embolism, intubation was done and dopamine and epinephrine were infused. The operation stopped and she was sent to the intensive care unit. On the spiral CT chest angiogram, a pulmonary embolism was found. Deep venous thrombosis was detected in the left lower extremity on the venogram. Heparin therapy was started at a rate of 800 U/hour with a bolus of 5000 U. A consultative operation for the removal of deep vein thrombosis was performed by a chest surgeon, and total hip arthroplasty was performed successfully under spinal anesthesia.
