Supraventricular tachycardia requiring repeated cardioversion in a 32-day-old baby
Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2017, Vol 73, Issue 2
Abstract
Cardiac arrhythmia is not so uncommon in a young infant but recognition in neonate and infant is not easy. The management of cardiac arrhythmia with cardiogenic shock, nonresponsive to pharmacological cardioversion in a young infant, can prove to be a challenge at peripheral hospital, owing to its life-threatening consequences. Delay in management may precipitate more fatal arrhythmias.
