Background and Objective: Arrhythmias are the most dangerous cause of death in cardiac patients, the purpose of this study is to investigate cardiac arrhythmias in non-cardiac surgeries with a focus on the type of arrhythmia and the type of surgery in Imam Khomeini (RA) hospital in Ilam city in 2021.
Materials and Methods: In a retrospective study, 150 patients were selected as the sample size. A questionnaire containing demographic information and type of underlying disease, type of arrhythmia and clinical outcome of arrhythmia, type of surgery and type of anesthesia. The studied data were analyzed by SPSS software. To analyze the data, T-test and chi-square were used.
Results: The most arrhythmia caused in general anesthesia was related to AF arrhythmia and tachycardia, significantly 100% (P<0.04). The results show that craniotomy had the highest (72.5%) clinical outcome of arrhythmia in the form of death, and there was a significant relationship between the type of surgery and the clinical outcome of arrhythmia.
Conclusion: The results of this study generally showed that bradycardia is the most common arrhythmia and PVC arrhythmia is the least, general anesthesia has played an important role in causing cardiac arrhythmias, and the incidence of AF arrhythmia is evident at older ages and the greatest recovery is in the age range of 30-60 years and it was more in men than women, and more incidence of AF was reported in patients who underwent laparotomy. Postoperative AF is a frequent and serious complication in older patients
