Abstract: In this case a cervico facial cancer patient scheduled for tracheostomy followed by an endoscopy, and known
to have a pacemaker, had hemodynamic instability at the start of general anaesthesia which lasted several
hours. The anaesthetist in charge used the magnet to override the pace maker which did not respond. Indeed,
it was a leadless pacemaker. These devices will be used more frequently and should be carefully scrutinized
at the anaesthetic consultation.Keywords: Leadless pacemaker, hemodynamic instability, general anaesthesia
