Abstract

Patients with glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are prone to acute haemolytic crisis during perioperative period, precipitated by oxidative stress and certain medications, which are common concurrences during this period. Careful peri-operative planning, judicious use of medication and postoperative monitoring plays a pivotal role in preventing complications in these patients. Here, we report a successful case of general anaesthesia in a child with G6PD deficiency.
