Detailed history and ECG screening enable safe anaesthetic management in asymptomatic Brugada syndrome.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the importance of detailed history and ECG in pre-anaesthetic assessment for identifying Brugada syndrome to ensure safe anaesthetic management.
Case report supports ECG vigilance in pre-anesthesia; leaves open need for prospective data on Brugada management.
Brugada Syndrome is a condition with an undetermined aetiology and a tendency for malignant arrhythmias, an electrocardiographic pattern of a right bundle branch block with persistent ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads (V1-V3) and no association with structural heart disease. We aimed to discuss the anaesthetic management of an asymptomatic 35-year-old patient with Brugada syndrome who had been diagnosed during the pre-anaesthetic assessment because of the family history of the early sudden cardiac death of his mother. As a result, we believe that detailed patient history and careful examination of laboratory tests and electrocardiography are crucial for early diagnosis of some diseases and for successful anaesthetic management.

Sahinkaya et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Brugada Syndrome (n=1). Anaesthetic management was evaluated. Anaesthetic management of a 35-year-old asymptomatic male with Brugada syndrome highlights the importance of detailed patient history and ECG for early diagnosis and successful care.
