title: [Anesthetic management for a patient with mental retardation and unexamined complex congenital heart disease].
abstract: An 18-year old female with mental retardation and unexamined complex congenital heart disease received dental care under general anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced and maintained successfully without any significant hemodynamic changes with inhalation of nitrous oxide, oxygen (FIO2 0.25-0.3) and sevoflurane after a heavy premedication (morphine 10 mg, scopolamine 0.3 mg and midazolam 5 mg i.m.). After induction of anesthesia, cardiac anomaly was diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography as TGA, VSD, PS, and operation was completed without any problem. Two points are considered important in this case; first, to appropriately estimate preoperative cardiac function and second, to adequately manage anesthesia to avoid any hemodynamic fluctuation.
