Sumario:Brugada syndrome is a myocardial transmembrane conduction of sodium abnormality and a common cause of sudden cardiac death. It is characterized by a distinctive electrocardiograph pattern with right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation in precordial leads V(1)–V(3). Many factors during general anesthetic management could precipitate malignant dysrhythmia. We report the anesthetic management of a patient with Brugada syndrome for emergency appendectomy uneventfully.
