A case report of a patient known to have long Q-T syndrome (LQTS) undergoing elective oral surgery is presented. While nitrous oxide-narcotic, nitrous oxide-enflurane, or nitrous oxide-halothane techniques for anaesthetic management of LQTS have been previously reported, we report the use of nitrous oxide-isoflurane for the maintenance of anaesthesia. The authors feel that isoflurane is a safe anaesthetic agent for use in LQTS.

Key Words: HEART: long Q-T syndrome, electrocardiography • ANAESTHETICS, VOLATILE: isoflurane • SURGERY: oral
