| Summary: | Adrenaline infiltration is a widely used technique in head-neck and ENT surgeries to provide bloodless surgical field. However, use of
adrenaline has been associated with hemodynamic changes which can be life threatening at times. Therefore, use of higher concentrations
of adrenaline should be avoided and a close hemodynamic monitoring is required with use of other vasopressors. In the present case
report, a young male died because of intraventricular bleeding caused by adrenaline infiltration during rhinoplasty. |
