Anesthetic management of a patient with asystolic spells

Kelly L. Crowley, Mohamed Rehman, Roy E. Schwartz

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Breathholding spells are common in infancy. In a subset of patients they may be associated with bradycardia and asystole. Management of these children necessitates placement of a permanent pacemaker. We discuss the anesthetic management of one such case.
