摘　　要：BACKGROUND Atrial arrhythmias such as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia(PSVT)and atrial flutter(AF)are common in the perioperative setting.They commonly resolve spontaneously.However,occasionally,they may continually progress to fatal arrhythmias or cause complications.Therefore,prompt and appropriate management is important.CASE SUMMARY A 46-year-old female patient diagnosed with cervical C6-7 radiculopathy characterized by decreased sensation in the right third,fourth and fifth fingers underwent C6-7 anterior cervical disc fusion surgery.Electrocardiography showed PSVT and ventricular tachycardia during C6-7 disc retraction.However,the patient remained stable.Initial treatment with esmolol and lidocaine for ventricular tachycardia was ineffective.Carotid massage and Valsalva maneuver were attempted but PSVT did not resolve.The surgery was paused,and the patient’s fraction of inspired oxygen was set to 100%.Adenosine was administered for pharmacological management of PSVT.The arrhythmia temporarily resolved.However,it then transformed into AF.Diltiazem was administered,which briefly decreased blood pressure,which immediately recovered.Surgery resumed while the patient was in normal sinus rhythm.She was discharged safely on postoperative day 6 without complications or abnormalities.Currently,she is living a healthy life without arrhythmia recurrence.CONCLUSION Ganglia associated with cardiac arrhythmias in the surgical site should be identified during cervical spine surgery.
