Abstract
We report a case of hip arthroplasty done under epidural and general anaesthesia. The patient had two episodes of acute massive pulmonary embolism perioperatively. He received cardiopulmonary resuscitation for the cardiovascular collapse that ensued and was administered a single dose of urokinase inspite of having relative (major) contraindications to the same.
