NPJT can occur by enhanced automaticity due to increased catecholamine during severe surgical hemorrhage. Although NPJT is generally self-limiting, it can be refractory to antiarrhythmic agents and accelerate hypotension if the surgical bleeding is uncontrolled. Therefore, aggressive management of the primary pathologic condition is crucial for the management of NPJT and hemodynamic collapse even in the absence of structural heart disease.
