Abstract

Noonan syndrome is a condition involving facial, cardiovascular and skeletal abnormalities that may pose problems to anesthesiologists during surgery. Propofol, which is used as an induction agent for noncardiac surgery, produces little or no change in the heart rate. Remifentanil decreases the sympathetic and somatic responses to noxious stimuli and can be given in high doses without negative inotropic effects. We report successful management of a patient with Noonan syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and atrial fibrillation, undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy using the the total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil.
