Sinus arrest complicating a bitemporal approach to the treatment of pan-facial fractures

R Bainton et al. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1990 Apr.

Abstract

Two cases are reported in which the treatment of pan-facial fractures via a bi-temporal flap approach was complicated by cessation of activity of the sinuatrial node (sinus arrest). The anatomical, physiological and anaesthetic implications of this potentially fatal complication are discussed.
