Abstract

Dextrocardia is a congenital cardiac malrotation in which the heart is situated on the right side of the body (dextroversion) with the apex pointing to the right. It may be associated with many cardiac and non-cardiac anomalies. It can also occur as a part of Kartagener’s Syndrome (KS). Presence of congenital and cardiac anomalies make the anesthetic management challenging and knowledge of the same is essential for better patient outcome.
