Anesthesiology chart. Before the occurrence of trigemino-cardiac reflex (TCR), mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) was 91.0 mmHg and heart rate (HR) was 82.5 beats/minute. At the time of the TCR record, the patient's blood pressure dropped to 37/0 mmHg (MABP, 12.3 mmHg; 86.49% drop from baseline), and concomitantly HR dropped to 61 beats/minute (26.07% drop from baseline). No significant blood loss at the time of the incident was recorded. The applied medications were ephedrin (20 mg), atropin (0.5 mg) and methylprednisolone (60 mg). After drug administration, the patient's hemodynamic parameters returned to normal and the intervention was reinitiated.
