Abstract

This report describes the anaesthetic management of a ventricular arrhythmia-prone patient with a prolonged Q-T interval for closed reduction and wiring of a mandibular fracture. The patient was premedicated with propranolol and anaesthetized with isoflurane (inhalation). Documentation of heart rate v. Q-T interval revealed the benefit of this technique.
