Abstract

The first article in this series (Miller and Flaherty, 2017) discussed the pathophysiology of peri-anaesthetic arrhythmias, and their generic treatment, with a more in-depth focus on bradyarrhythmias; this second article focuses on tachyarrhythmias. These fast heart rates can dramatically affect cardiac output and may have marked consequences for haemodynamic stability. A description of those tachyarrhythmias commonly seen in relation to anaesthesia is followed by a discussion on treatment considerations and options.
