Why the study?
Antiarrhythmic toxicities represent important potential adverse effects in pediatric patients, requiring emergency medicine clinicians to be skilled in their detection, workup, and management.
This clinical review provides emergency medicine clinicians with guidance on the indications, pharmacology, adverse effects, and toxicologic treatment of antiarrhythmics in pediatric patients.
Emergency clinicians must prepare for pediatric antiarrhythmic toxicities; review leaves optimal protocols open for prospective study.
Antiarrhythmic medications are fundamental in the acute and chronic management of pediatric arrhythmias. Particularly in the pediatric patient population, associated antiarrhythmic toxicities represent important potential adverse effects. Emergency medicine clinicians must be skilled in the detection, workup, and management of antiarrhythmic toxicity. This is a clinical review of the indications, pharmacology, adverse effects, and toxicologic treatment of antiarrhythmics commonly used in the pediatric patient population.
