    Abstract:
    Brugada syndrome should not be neglected in terms of anesthetic management because its perioperative autonomic imbalance may cause ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac arrest. Diagnosis of Brugada syndrome is easily made by unique electrocardiographic pattern of right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads. Thus the number of patients with Brugada syndrome for anesthetic management tends to increase. We review current concept of anesthetic management for patients with Brugada syndrome including fourteen cases in our institution, two out of which developed VF during operation.
