Prompts vigilance for Brugada-like arrhythmias with high-dose propofol in infants; case report leaves open causality and incidence.
Case Report (n=1)
Prolonged high-dose propofol infusion in infants can lead to serious arrhythmias and conduction disturbances, highlighting a critical safety concern in this population.
Robinson et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Status epilepticus (n=1). Prolonged intravenous propofol infusion was evaluated on Cardiac conduction disturbances and tachyarrhythmias. Prolonged high-dose intravenous propofol infusion in an infant was associated with dramatic cardiac conduction disturbances and ventricular tachycardia resembling Brugada syndrome.
