A 63-year-old man, scheduled for a Hartmann's procedure, sustained a cervical injury with resultant complete motor and sensory loss below the fourth cervical segment 39 years prior to admission. Anesthesia was induced with propofol 70 mg, vecuronium bromide 5 mg and an endotracheal tube was placed in the trachea. Anesthesia was maintained with nitrous oxide/oxygen and fentanyl. Ventilation was controlled to maintain normocapnea. We did not employ epidual anesthesia due to inability to flex the spine. We administered fentanyl to control hypertension, but it led to hypotension. And about 500 ml of bleeding also caused hypotension. These episodes of hypotension are associated with hypovolemia and instability of vascular tone. To control hypotension, we finally selected continuous intravenous administration of norepinephrine. The manifestations of cardiovascular instability during surgery in chronic stage of cervical spinal cord injury is not only hypertension associated with autonomic hyperreflexia, but also hypotension associated with instability of vascular tone and hypovolemia.
