Anesthetic management of a patient with Brugada syndrome for one-lung ventilation by total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil: A case report

ABSTRACT

The Brugada syndrome (BS) is characterized by ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads of electrocardiogram, with or without right bundle branch block in the absence of any obvious structural heart disease.Also, the BS has been identified as an important cause of sudden cardiac death.We have experienced anesthetic management of a patient with BS for one-lung ventilation by total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil without untoward cardiovascular events.
