Long QT syndrome is an inherited disorder of the heart's electrical activity that may also be associated with malignant arrhythmia and cause sudden death. In addition to this inherited condition, several commonly used anesthetic drugs can prolong the QT interval. We present here a 17-month-old male patient who underwent general anesthesia for a cochlear implant. No cardiac arrhythmia was observed in the patient, whose muscle relaxant effect was reversed using sugammadex. The application of intravenous anesthetics was preferred to maintain anesthesia for this patient and was safely applied.
长QT综合征是一种遗传性心脏电活动紊乱疾病，也可能与恶性心律失常相关并导致猝死。除了这种遗传状况外，几种常用的麻醉药物也可延长QT间期。我们在此介绍一名17个月大的男性患者，他接受了人工耳蜗植入的全身麻醉。该患者未观察到心律失常，使用舒更葡糖逆转了其肌肉松弛作用。对于该患者，优先采用静脉麻醉药维持麻醉，并安全应用。
