Abstract

Atrial fibrillation is a frequent arrythmia that has increased prevalence with age and resulted serious morbidities like thromboembolism and mortality. Early diagnosis and prophylaxis are crucial. Colonoscopy procedure is frequent procedure that is used for diagnosis, screening and treatment. Before this procedure, specific diet and drugs are administered for bowel emptying. Especially volume depletion and arrhythmia are considered in elderly patients. In this case report, an atrial fibrillation presentation was reported during colonoscopy.

Abstract

Atriyal fibrilasyon; sıklığı yaşla artan, tromboembolik olay gibi ciddi mortalite ve morbiditelerle seyredebilen sık bir aritmidir. Bu durumun tanınması ve erken önlem alınması çok önemlidir. Kolonoskopi işlemi, gerek tanısal ve tarama amaçlı, gerek tedavi amaçlı sık kullanılan bir girişimsel yöntemdir. Kolonoskopi işlemi öncesi, barsak boşalmasını sağlamak amacıyla özel bir diyet ve barsak boşaltıcı ilaçlar uygulanmaktadır. Özellikle yaşlı hastalarda sıvı kaybı ve aritmi gibi durumlar açısından dikkatli olunmalıdır. Bu olguda kolonoskopi hazırlığı esnasında gelişen bir atriyal fibrilasyon olgusu rapor edilmiştir.
