A member asked:
Will the accuracy of mapping of the heart be compromised if general anesthesia is used during mapping for a pediatric atrial ablation?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There should be no effect if the anesthesiologist is aware to avoid Propofol during certain mapping ablations. Then, another choice can be used.

No: The medications used will not interfere with the mapping of the heart. The general anesthetic will actually make the procedure easier since the child will not move during the procedure.
