Perioperative risks in adults with Brugada syndrome during anesthesia and related procedures
Official title: BRUGADA-ANAESTHESIA Registry: Prospective Multicentre Observational Registry of Peri-procedural Anaesthesia, Sedation and Related Medication Exposure in Patients With Brugada Syndrome
Run by Hospital Clinic of Barcelona · NCT07655102 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This registry follows adults with Brugada syndrome to see how often dangerous heart rhythms occur around anesthesia and up to 30 days after.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with a documented Brugada syndrome undergoing any general, regional, or sedation-based anesthesia/analgesia procedure.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals without a confirmed Brugada syndrome diagnosis or not undergoing perioperative care are not eligible and would not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This multicenter observational registry collects data on adults with Brugada syndrome undergoing any anesthetic or sedation procedure. It aims to quantify the incidence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias during anesthesia and within 30 days post-procedure, and to examine whether certain anesthetic drugs thought to be risky are linked to higher arrhythmic events. The study also analyzes how perioperative factors like blood pressure changes, fever, and bradycardia may contribute to arrhythmia risk. Data will be collected from clinical records at participating centers to characterize perioperative management and outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Findings could inform safer perioperative strategies for Brugada patients and help identify drugs or factors associated with higher arrhythmia risk.
How similar studies have gone: Prior observational work in Brugada syndrome and perioperative care has provided descriptive insights, but high-quality data on perioperative arrhythmia risk remains limited, making this registry novel in its scope.
Who can join: the full rules
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Patients should match all the inclusion criteria to be entered for data collection: * Documented type 1 Brugada ECG pattern (spontaneous, fever-related, or induced by sodium-channel blocker challenge/other recognised provocation test) with a diagnosis considered compatible with Brugada syndrome by the treating cardiology team. * Undergoing general anaesthesia, monitored sedation, loco-regional anaesthesia for any surgical, diagnostic, interventional, obstetric or other non-surgical procedure (including epidural analgesia for labour and sedation for endoscopy). Patients with one or more exclusion criteria will not be included for data collection and analysis: * No documented type 1 Brugada ECG pattern, uncertain diagnosis without sufficient supporting data. * Refusal to participate in the study.
