Overview

Case report demonstrates successful rectal propranolol administration in a neonate with supraventricular tachycardia and necrotizing enterocolitis, suggesting a viable alternative during gut rest.

Key Points

To describe a novel per-rectal propranolol delivery strategy for antiarrhythmic maintenance during mandatory nil per oral status caused by surgical necrotizing enterocolitis.
Evaluation of a single 35-week neonate with antenatal tachyarrhythmia and postnatal supraventricular tachycardia managed at a tertiary neonatal unit in Western India.
Implementation of rectal propranolol following development of Bell Stage 3A necrotizing enterocolitis and subsequent progression to surgical Bell Stage 3B disease.
Rectal propranolol successfully suppressed supraventricular tachycardia recurrence during mandatory nil per oral status following initial adenosine cardioversion.
The infant underwent emergency laparotomy with jejuno-jejunal and ileo-caecal resection for pneumoperitoneum on day of life 8 and was discharged on oral propranolol on day of life 25.
