| Popis: | Kartagener's syndrome (KGS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the clinical triad of bronchiectasis, sinusitis and dextrocardia (situs inversus). Reports of general anaesthesia in a child with KGS are rare in medical literature. We describe the case of a young boy who underwent lobectomy under general anaesthesia using a single lumen tube. Anaesthetic implications of this syndrome are mentioned. Key points in the management of anaesthesia in KGS are discussed. |
