Reperfusion-induced ventricular fibrillation after aortic
cross clamp is one of the important complications of open
heart surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of
Amiodarone, Lignocaine and agnesium sulphate by the
way of pump circuit 3-5 minutes before ACC release and
observe the haemodynamic alterations in intra-op and
post op period and compare the results in randomised
controlled trial.
