Supports considering higher initial adenosine doses in pediatric SVT with pre-excitation; observational data leave optimal dosing open pending RCTs.
What is the optimal effective dose of adenosine for treating supraventricular tachycardia in children?
An initial adenosine dose of 200 μg/kg may be more effective than the standard 100 μg/kg for terminating SVT in children, particularly in those with underlying pre-excitation.
Qureshi et al. (2012) studied this question.
