During the procedure, the patient experienced bradycardia.When attempting to deflate the dome, no pressure or air would release.The digital manometer read 73 but the dome appeared fully inflated.The dome was manually pressed which deflated the dome.The dome was attempted to be re-inflated, but it would not easily re-inflate.Eventually the dome did re-inflate but the manometer still did not appear to be working correctly.The patient was bradycardic, atropine was administered but ineffective.Shortly after the air in the dome was released, the patient's heart rate returned to baseline.There was no patient harm.
