[Medial AV-nodular rhythm observed during an endolaryngeal micro-surgical intervention (author's transl)].

A case of therapy resistant junctional nodal rhythm in the course of a microsurgical laryngeal operation is reported. The interaction of possible reflex mechanisms is discussed. Attempts to reverse the electrocardioscopic findings with drugs were unsuccessful. Diminuation of the mechanical irritation caused by the operation-laryngoscope resulted in immediate return to sinusrhythm.
