Why the study?
Does inhalational anesthesia induction compared to intravenous induction increase the risk of tachycardia in pediatric patients undergoing electrophysiologic studies?
Does inhalational anesthesia induction compared to intravenous induction increase the risk of tachycardia in pediatric patients undergoing electrophysiologic studies?
Inhalational anesthesia induction is associated with a significantly higher risk of sinus tachycardia compared to intravenous induction in pediatric patients undergoing electrophysiology studies, particularly those with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Incidence data may heighten vigilance during pediatric EPS induction; leaves open optimal agent selection.
Background: Anesthesia is essential to facilitate the majority of pediatric electrophysiology studies (EPS); however, a risk of an arrhythmia exists during its induction. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of arrhythmia during anesthesia induction in pediatric EPS.
