Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A case report of an 11-year-old Caucasian boy with the fragile X syndrome is presented. The fragile X syndrome is a form of X-linked mental retardation with a connective tissue component that involves mitral valve prolapse. Antibiotic prophylaxis, electrocardiographic abnormalities, and special anesthetic management considerations are elements of treating patients with fragile X syndrome. The patient received morphine sulfate and scopolamine as a preoperative premedication. Ketamine was also administered intramuscularly prior to induction to gaseous anesthetic. Pancuronium was used to facilitate nasotracheal intubation. A wandering atrial pacemaker and progressive hypocapnia, both of which were managed without complication, were the only problems encountered in the anesthetic procedure. |
