چکیده
BACKGROUND Perinatal asphyxia is known to precipitate myocardial dysfunction, rhythm abnormalities and congestive cardiac failure. CASE CHARACTERISTICS A 2-day old neonate with perinatal asphyxia. OBSERVATION He developed shock secondary to ventricular tachycardia, and required synchronized cardioversion for reversion of abnormal rhythm. OUTCOME Reversal of arrhythmia leading to recovery. MESSAGE Early identification and management of ventricular tachycardia in neonate with perinatal asphyxia can be life-saving.

Right Ventricular Myocardial Ischemia with Arrhythmia in an Asphyxiated Newborn
Background Infant and neonatal myocardial infarction (MI) has been described in association with congenital heart disease, coronary artery abnormalities, myocarditis, and tumors. MI in the perinatal period in a structurally normal heart and with ventricular arrhythmia as a presenting feature has not been thoroughly described. Published case reports describe treatment methods extrapolated from a...
متن کاملPlasma free and sulfoconjugated catecholamines during acute asphyxia in the sheep fetus--relation to cardiovascular parameters.
Changes of free and sulfoconjugated catecholamines were measured radioenzymatically during a 5 minute period of acute asphyxia in chronically instrumented sheep fetuses (n = 5). Due to total reduction of uterine blood flow asphyxia as well as metabolic acidosis developed (pH = 6.94 +/- 0.02; Pco2 = 98 +/- 8 mmHG; lactate = 7.1 +/- 0.3 mmol/l). Peak concentrations of free catecholamines were rea...
متن کاملComparison of the Incidence of Perinatal Asphyxia before and after the Health Improvement Program in Bentolhoda Hospital of Bojnurd, Iran
Background: Perinatal asphyxia is a common cause of infant morbidity and mortality and long-term neurological disabilities. Due to the high costs of admission, a large proportion of births and neonatal deaths occur in non-hospital settings. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence rate of perinatal asphyxia before and after the implementation of the health improvement program. Methods: This d...
متن کاملAssociation between serum interleukin-1β levels and perinatal asphyxia
Objective: Asphyxia is a major cause of acute mortality and chronic neurologic disability in neonates. We sought to define the predictive values of serum concentrations of interleukin-1β in newborns with perinatal asphyxia to see if there is a relation between interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels to the short term neurological deficit. Methods: This was a prospective (case-co...
