Abstract
A 4-year-old boy patient with Romano-Ward syndrome had right inguinal hernia. He was scheduled for radical operation under general anesthesia. Propranorol 5mg was orally given two hour prior to anesthesia and scopolamine 0.1mg im and secobarbital 70mg im were given one hour before anesthesia. He was well sedated while entering in the operating room. Anesthesia was induced with enflurane, nitrous oxide and oxygen by mask method. Left stellate ganglion block was performed with 3ml of 0.5% mepivacaine, caudal block was done with 12mg of 1% mepivacaine too. Anesthesia was maintained with GOEn. QTc was shortened from 0.51sec to 0.48sec after left stellate ganglion block. Perioperative and postoperative general condition of the patient was stable and uneventful with no dysrhythmia on ECG monitoring.
