Shoulder surgery in beach chair position causing perioperative stroke: Four cases and a review of the literature.


ABSTRACT: Perioperative stroke is a rare, but serious complication in shoulder-arthroscopy or arthroplasty. Recent literature suggests the beach chair position, widely used during shoulder surgery, might induce severe perioperative hypotension, and with this cerebral desaturation and ultimately perioperative stroke. In this article we report four cases of perioperative stroke in shoulder surgery. In all cases, patients underwent brief periods of hypotension, which might have caused perioperative stroke. Based on an analysis in our hospital, we think the prevalence of perioperative stroke during shoulder surgery is higher than reported. Surgeons should be aware of this risk when using the beach chair position.
