Facing a power failure midst a surgery is a rare event nowadays. But when it happens, it may present as a difficult challenge to operating surgeon, anesthetist and the team. We are reporting one such case event when operating room power outlets failed due to a technical problem midst a total knee arthroplasty. The operating team responded appropriately to the power failure. But response to such event should not necessarily be intuitive. It’s important that one must have advanced planning for such events. With this report we aim to shed some light on this topic and serve to facilitate optimal management in such unexpected event. |
