As far as arresting on induction would it generally be secondary to the medications used? Vasovagal response from direct laryngoscopy? Decreased preload from increased intrathoracic pressure? A combination of the any or all of the above? Something I'm missing completely?
I need to get ahold of an anesthesia text.
