Pacemaker devices have revolutionized the lives of patients with cardiac arrhythmias and have become increasingly common. Anesthetic management of patients with cardiac pacemakers provides special challenges. We describe our experience of a patient having implanted permanent pacemaker posted for clipping of ruptured intracranial aneurysm.
