ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a rare disease that can cause various patterns of tachyarrhythmias. The main goal of anaesthesiologists for the perioperative anaesthetic management of WPW patients must be to avoid sympathetic stimulation and prevent tachyarrhythmias. CASE A 9-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of WPW syndrome, who underwent emergency surgery for supracondylar humerus fracture, is presented. General anaesthesia in combination with infraclavicular brachial plexus (ICBP) block was performed successfully without any complications. For the reversal of neuromuscular block, sugammadex was uneventfully used. Intraoperative sympathetic discharge due to surgical intervention was prevented with ICBP block. The ICBP block has also provided good postoperative analgesia.

CONCLUSIONS:

Sugammadex is a good alternative for the reversal of neuromuscular blocks to avoid the undesirable effects of cholinergic drugs. Peripheral regional blocks that require relatively large doses of local anaesthetics can be safely performed with utmost attention in paediatric WPW patients.
