ABSTRACT: We report the successful anesthetic management of a patient with Brugada syndrome who underwent electroconvulsive therapy to treat bipolar disorder. Suxamethonium and neostigmine were contraindicated to avoid the vagotonic effects that can precipitate ventricular fibrillation during anesthesia in patients with Brugada syndrome. The combination of 1.2 mg/kg rocuronium and 10 mg/kg sugammadex was effectively and safely used to induce and antagonize neuromuscular block for 8 consecutive electroconvulsive therapy sessions in this patient. |
