Key result
Combined epidural and general anesthesia safely manages a Brugada syndrome patient undergoing laparotomy without complications.
Why the study?
Brugada Syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac disorder with risk of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death, requiring careful anaesthetic management.
Combined epidural and general anaesthesia can be safely used in patients with Brugada Syndrome undergoing laparotomy.
May inform anesthetic planning in Brugada syndrome; leaves open need for prospective safety data.
Brugada Syndrome (BS) is a rare congenital cardiac disorder involving cardiac sodium channels, sometimes presenting with ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Here, we are reporting a case of BS who presented for laparotomy due to obstructed inguinal hernia which was managed satisfactorily with combined epidural and general anaesthesia without any complications.
