Summary
A 71-year-old man presents for a right hemicolectomy after a suspicious polyp was found during a routine colonoscopy. He has a past medical history of hypertension and sick-sinus syndrome for which he had a pacemaker placed 8 years ago. He is currently active, has no known drug allergies, and has been NPO for 16 hours except for a bowel prep. He last saw his cardiologist 1 year ago and was without any limitations according to the patient. What are your concerns? Does this patient need to be seen by his cardiologist prior to his surgery? What do you need to know about his pacemaker? Will the pacemaker affect your anesthetic?
