Anesthetic Considerations in Patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Role of Perioperative Dexmedetomidine
Journal Title: Enliven: Journal of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a cardiac disorder having abnormal electrical communication between atria and ventricles. It is an uncommon disorder may be asymptomatic or present with symptoms like palpitation. Intraoperatively these patients may present with serious cardiac emergencies like paroxysmal supraventricular tachyarrythmias (PSVT) and atrial fibrillation (AF). We report a case of 35 years old female posted for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia with the use of dexmedetomidine in the perioperative period. Perioperative management of these patients under general anesthesia is a real challenge for the anesthesiologists particularly under general anesthesia.
