Abstract

Patients with cyanotic heart disease are prone to develop frequent brain abscesses. Tetralogy of Fallot is a leading cause of cyanotic congenital heart disease and is responsible for as many as 10 % of all causes of congenital heart diseases. Surgery for drainage of abscess under general anaesthesia in these children is considered a challenge. Hemodynamic instability, cyanotic spells, coagulation defects, electrolyte and acid base imbalance, and sudden cardiac arrest are among the major anaesthetic concerns during perioperative period. We are here by reporting anaesthetic management of such a case with good outcome.
