[Anesthetic Management of a Patient with Double Outlet Right Ventricle and Situs Inversus for Dilatation and Curettage of the Uterus].

A 30-year-old woman with a double outlet right ven- tricle and situs inversus was scheduled for dilatation and curettage of the uterus. We selected intravenous anesthesia which allowed spontaneous respiration, because of the short operation time and the low invasive surgery. We administered dexmedetomidine hydrochloride 1.1 μg · kg⁻¹ · hr⁻¹ and fentanyl (total amount 150 μg, three doses of 50 μg each) during operation. We accomplished anesthesia without appar- ent hemodynamic change or respiratory depression. We should select anesthetic method and anesthetic cautiously, considering patient's state.
