Total Intravenous Anesthesia for a Patient with Narcolepsy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Narcolepsy is a disorder of unknown etiology. It is characterized by excessive sleepiness that is typically associated with cataplexy and other Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep phenomena, such as sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations. When administering general anesthesia to patients with narcolepsy, delayed emergence after general anesthesia, post-operative hypersomnia and drug interactions should be considered. However, there are few reports on the anesthetic management of patients with narcolepsy. We report a case of oral surgery under general anesthesia involving a narcoleptic patient.
