efficacy of adenosine for acute treatment of supraventricular tachycardia in infants and children

Efficacy and safety of adenosine in the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia in infants and children.

One hundred and seventeen episodes of supraventricular tachycardia in 50 children, including 28 infants, were treated with intravenous adenosine. Adenosine was prepared in a sterile solution of 0.9% saline (1 mg/ml) and given in incremental doses of 0.05 mg/kg every two minutes to a maximum of 0.25 mg/kg. Ninety of the 117 episodes were terminated. This included 88 of the 102 episodes of juncti...

Adenosine administration in supraventricular tachycardia

The ECG during symptoms was strongly suggestive of typical atrial flutter. After adenosine administration, the heart rate slowed for a few seconds because of 3:1 atrioventricular (AV) conduction, but it then changed to 1:1 conduction response (Fig. 1). This was associated with haemodynamic instability, which required electrocardioversion. Although adenosine administration is usually innocuous, ...

Guidelines and adenosine dosing in supraventricular tachycardia.

This retrospective review of present practice of administration of adenosine by paediatricians shows that current guidelines recommend starting doses that are effective in only 9% of infants and children.
