What Causes The Heart To Stop Working While Undergoing Acoustic Neuroma Surgery?
Recently I underwent surgery to have an accoustic neuroma removed. About 2 hours in to surgery, my heart slowed and stopped. I had to be shocked 6 times but did not suffer a heart attack. I was also advised after much testing that my heart is organically sound. What could possibly be the cause as I must revisit the surgery at some point in the near future?
