Intraoperative manifestation of sick sinus syndrome in an eight-month-old child

Abstract
Sick sinus syndrome is characterized by a gradually progressive deficit in the function of the sinus node and may not manifest itself clinically for a long time. During anesthesia and/or surgery, it may first appear in the form of severe, atropine-refractory bradycardia or sudden asystole. The presented clinical case describes the intraoperative manifestation of sick sinus syndrome in an eightmonth-old boy. The analysis of published data on the management of surgical patients with sinus node dysfunction was carried out.
