Key result
Vagal maneuvers and rapid intravenous adenosine are recommended as first-line therapies for hemodynamically stable children with supraventricular tachycardia, whereas unstable patients require immediate cardioversion.
Why the study?
To review the currently available evidence for the management of supraventricular tachycardia in children.

Supports guideline-directed pediatric SVT care; leaves open need for age-specific RCTs on technique efficacy.
What evidence is currently available for the management of acute supraventricular tachycardia in children?
Standard management of pediatric SVT involves vagal maneuvers and adenosine for stable patients, and emergency cardioversion for unstable patients.
Abbasi et al. (2023) conducted a review in Supraventricular tachycardia. Adenosine and vagal maneuvers was evaluated. Vagal maneuvers and rapid intravenous adenosine are recommended as first-line therapies for hemodynamically stable children with supraventricular tachycardia, whereas unstable patients require immediate cardioversion.
