Unusual case of intraoperative acute cor pulmonale during spine surgery.

We present a case where the patient had these changes after changing the position after spine surgery in prone position. A quick response from the treating anesthesiologist and active involvement of cardiologist helped in reaching the diagnosis and successful management of aspiration pneumonitis in this patient. We conclude that a quick response in investigations and multimodality approach helps in the management of such perioperative complications. PMID: 30971611 [PubMed - in process]
