Key result
Mixed-method intraosseous adenosine successfully terminates supraventricular tachycardia in an infant.
Why the study?
The role and administration of intraosseous adenosine for treating supraventricular tachycardia in infants are poorly established.
Does intraosseous infusion of adenosine via a mixed method successfully treat supraventricular tachycardia in an infant?

Does intraosseous infusion of adenosine via a mixed method successfully treat supraventricular tachycardia in an infant?
Intraosseous administration of adenosine via a mixed method can be a successful alternative for treating supraventricular tachycardia in infants when intravenous access is challenging.
May offer alternative adenosine route in infants lacking IV access; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Supraventricular tachycardia is a common arrhythmia faced by emergency physicians in the pediatric population. In most cases, antecubital intravenous access can be established, and adenosine can be administered in a rapid and timely fashion. The role and administration of intraosseous adenosine are poorly established. We describe a case where the administration of adenosine was successful via a mixed method administration.

Helleman et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Supraventricular Tachycardia (n=1). Intraosseous infusion of adenosine via a mixed method administration was evaluated on Successful administration of adenosine. Intraosseous infusion of adenosine via a mixed method administration was successful for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia in an infant.
