Abstract

The glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzymatic disorder of the red blood cells in humans. This disorder is related with an enzymatic defect in the pentose-phosphate pathway which is characterized by hemolysis. The best prevention strategy is avoiding possible triggers of hemolytic crisis, for this purpose the anesthesiologist must know properly the drugs used in anesthesia that are suitable for using in these patients. We present in the article a review of this deficit by using a clinical case of a patient who goes to the operating room with general anesthesia.
