Does intravenous adenosine effectively revert supraventricular tachycardia in pediatric patients in the emergency department?
Pediatric patients with SVT often require multiple and higher doses of adenosine than typically recommended in guidelines to achieve normal sinus rhythm.
Díaz-Parra et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) (n=26). Adenosine was evaluated on Reversion to stable sinus rhythm. Intravenous adenosine reverted supraventricular tachycardia to stable sinus rhythm in 75% of treated episodes, requiring a mean effective dose of 173 µg/kg.
