The beach chair position is one of the most commonly used positions in arthroscopic shoulder surgery because of its anatomical nature and easy modifiability to open surgery. Despite these advantages, thromboembolic and neurologic complications have been reported. We report a case of carotid sinus hypersensitivity due to shoulder sling pressure after arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
