Intraoperative change in P-wave polarity, an accidental finding: Anaesthesiologist’s dilemma

We report a case of 61year old female posted for an orthopaedic procedure where intraoperative changing p wave polarity was noticed on monitor. Since, the patient was asymptomatic and haemodynamically stable, we decided to proceed with a spinal anaesthetic after much dilemma. The intraoperative period went uneventful with continued changes in p wave polarity.
