Abstract
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the commonest human enzyme defect with male predominance. Patients with Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency may face acute haemolysis precipitated by infection, certain medications and some of the anaesthetic drugs. Ketamine helps in providing anxiolysis, analgesia and sedation. Here, we report successful use of nebulized ketamine in a child to give subarachnoid block with G6PD deficiency undergoing below umbilical procedure.
