Perioperative anesthetic management in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome requires specific precautions to prevent the precipitation of acute cardiac events during surgery.
Highlights the anaesthetic challenges and perioperative precautions required for patients with WPW syndrome undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is an extremely rare congenital cardiac conduction disorder. It is due to an aberrant pathway between the atrium and ventricle. This manuscript entails a man with an underlying WPW who was posted for an elective orchidectomy. We discussed the important perioperative precautions to prevent the precipitation of acute cardiac events.
