Anaesthetic management of a pregnant woman with Brugada syndrome undergoing Caesarean section: a case report.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBrugada syndrome occurs typically without structural heart disease and is regarded as an autosomal dominant condition. It is linked to a range of cardiac symptoms as well as potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias that can cause sudden cardiac death. The patient in this case demonstrated electrocardiographic features consistent with Brugada syndrome, which were unmasked as a diagnostic Type 1 coved ST-segment elevation pattern in the right precordial leads (V1-V3) following Ajmaline provocation testing. The patient also mentioned feeling a little weak and dizzy with a few episodes of palpitations during the entire course of pregnancy. At 37 weeks of gestation, the patient, a pregnant woman, was scheduled for an elective Caesarean section. CASE PRESENTATION: An elective Caesarean section was planned for 37 weeks of gestation for a 38-year-old pregnant woman for breech presentation who demonstrated Brugada syndrome, morbid obesity (BMI 41), type 2 diabetes mellitus, anaemia, and a history of laparoscopic myomectomy. Multidisciplinary planning was undertaken involving anesthesiology, cardiology, endocrinology, and obstetrics. The primary plan was spinal anaesthesia with general anaesthesia as a backup due to her heart risk. The administration of 200 µg of morphine and 12.5 mg of bupivacaine intrathecally went satisfactorily. After a stable intraoperative period, the patient was observed in a high-dependency unit until being moved to the maternity ward without any issues.
conclusionFor certain parturients with Brugada syndrome, spinal anaesthesia can be safely given through preoperative assessment, interdisciplinary collaboration, and close intraoperative and postoperative monitoring.
