Key result
Intravenous adenosine successfully terminated 76.9% (90 of 117) of supraventricular tachycardia episodes in infants and children, though reinitiation occurred in 13 episodes.

Does intravenous adenosine safely terminate supraventricular tachycardia in infants and children?
Intravenous adenosine is a safe and effective method for the rapid termination of most episodes of supraventricular tachycardia in infants and children.
Till et al. (1989) conducted an observational in Supraventricular tachycardia (n=50). Intravenous adenosine was evaluated on Termination of supraventricular tachycardia episodes. Intravenous adenosine successfully terminated 76.9% (90 of 117) of supraventricular tachycardia episodes in infants and children, though reinitiation occurred in 13 episodes.
