In patients undergoing surgery, sympathetic responses can be triggered in situations associated with surgical stimulations as well as high anxiety before the surgery, anesthetic maneuvers such as endotracheal intubation and extubation, and postoperative pain. Therefore, planning for surgery demands meticulous attention to anesthesia during the perioperative period in order to prevent potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. Case: We discuss a case of an 11-year-old male pediatric patient with known CPVT who required elective strabismus surgery for exotropia involving both eyes. After thorough planning of general anesthesia to minimize catecholamine response, sufficient anesthesia and analgesia were achieved to blunt the stressful response during intubation and maintained throughout the surgical procedure. Complete emergence was achieved after deep extubation, and the patient did not complain of pain or postoperative nausea and vomiting. Conclusions: Anesthesiologists should not only be able to plan and manage the catecholamine response during surgery but also anticipate and be prepared for situations that may lead to arrhythmias before and after the procedure. In certain cases, deep extubation can be beneficial as it reduces hemodynamic changes during the extubation process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59122067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,23]],"date-time":"2023-11-23T06:06:23Z","timestamp":1700719583000},"page":"2067","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Smooth Emergence from General Anesthesia after Deep Extubation in a Pediatric Patient Diagnosed with Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4564-0007","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seung Bae","family":"Cho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Busan Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Busan 47392, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8868-398X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beomseok","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Busan Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Busan 47392, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seunghee","family":"Ki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Busan Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Busan 47392, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-3990-5872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seokwoo","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Busan Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Busan 47392, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4912-1885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juseok","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Busan Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Busan 47392, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-0848-0276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Insik","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Busan Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Busan 47392, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4616-0355","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeonghan","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Busan Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Busan 47392, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"344","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joa.2015.09.008","article-title":"Current Topics in Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia","volume":"32","author":"Sumitomo","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
