  • Title: Cardiac arrest from intravenous indigo carmine during laparoscopic surgery -A case report-.
    Author: Lee WJ, Jang HS.
    Journal: Korean J Anesthesiol; 2012 Jan; 62(1):87-90. PubMed ID: 22323961.
    Abstract:
    Indigo carmine (sodium indigotindisulfonate) is a safe, biologically inactive blue dye routinely administered intravascularly during urologic and gynecologic procedures to localize the ureteral orifices and to identify severed ureters and fistulous communications. We report a case of hypotension, cardiac arrest, and cerebral ischemia after the administration of indigo carmine in a patient under total laparoscopic hysterectomy.
