PEDIATRIC CARDIAC RHYTHM DISTURBANCES
![Page 2: PALS - Rhythm Disturbance 02](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5520938c4979598e2f8b4bb8/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
CARDIAC RHYTHM DISTURBANCES
• General:
- More often the result and not the cause of acute cardiovascular emergencies
- Typically the end result of hypoxemia and acidosis resulting from respiratory insufficiency and shock
![Page 3: PALS - Rhythm Disturbance 02](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5520938c4979598e2f8b4bb8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Should be treated as an emergency only if it compromises cardiac output or degenerates into lethal rhythm.
• Classified according to their effect on central pulses
- Fast pulse rate = tachyarrhythmia - Slow pulse rate = bradyarrhythmia - Absent pulse = pulseless arrest
Principles of Therapy

HEART RATE IN NORMAL CHILDREN
• Age Awake Mean Sleeping
newborn to 3 mo 85-205 140 60-160
3 mo- 2 y 100-190 130 75-160
2 y- 10 y 60-140 80 60-90
> 10 y 60- 100 75 50-90

Fast Pulse Rate• Sinus Tachycardia
• Supraventicular Tachycardia
• Ventricular Tachycardia
• General Guidelines:
- Evaluate 12 lead ECG if practical
- Determine the QRS duration
- Normal ( < 0.08 sec )
- Wide ( > 0.08 sec
![Page 6: PALS - Rhythm Disturbance 02](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5520938c4979598e2f8b4bb8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Sinus Tachycardia
• A rate of sinus node discharge higher than normal for age
• Develops in response to a need for increased cardiac output or oxygen delivery
• Common causes include anxiety, fever, pain, blood loss, sepsis, or shock
• History is compatible for S. tach
![Page 7: PALS - Rhythm Disturbance 02](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5520938c4979598e2f8b4bb8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Sinus Tachycardia
• ECG: rate is greater than normal for age
< 220 bpm infants
< 180 bpm in children
• P waves present and normal
• HR varies with activity beat to beat
• HR slows gradually in Sinus tach
![Page 8: PALS - Rhythm Disturbance 02](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5520938c4979598e2f8b4bb8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sinus Tachycardia
• Therapy:
Directed at treating the underlying cause. ( fever, shock, hypovolemia, hypoxia, abnormal electrolytes, drugs, pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade)
Attempts at decreasing heart rate by meds is inappropriate.
![Page 9: PALS - Rhythm Disturbance 02](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5520938c4979598e2f8b4bb8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
• Differentiate between S. tach and SVT• History is incompatible • Heart rate not variable with activity• infants rate is usually > 220bpm children rate is usually > 180 bpm
(SVT : abrupt rate change to and from normal Rhythm: QRS duration usually normal approx. < 0.08 sec))
![Page 10: PALS - Rhythm Disturbance 02](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5520938c4979598e2f8b4bb8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Supraventricular Tachycardia Adequate Perfusion
• Therapy: ABC, Oxygen, monitor/defib, EKG Consider Vagal Maneuvers (ice water,
straw) Adenosine: rapid IV /IO bolus 0.1mg/kg
(max first dose is 6 mg) repeated once at double dose (max second dose 12mg)
Consult cardiologist Attempt cardioversion 0.5-1.0 J/kg may
increase to 2 J/kg
![Page 11: PALS - Rhythm Disturbance 02](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5520938c4979598e2f8b4bb8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Supraventricular Tachycardia Poor Perfusion
• Therapy:
- Consider vagal maneuvers (without delay)
- Synchronized cardioversion - Initial energy 0.5 –1.0 J/kg may increase to 2 J/kg if rhythm persist.
or
- Adenosine: rapid IV /IO bolus 0.1mg/kg (max first dose is 6 mg) if IV access repeated once at double dose (max second dose 12mg)
![Page 12: PALS - Rhythm Disturbance 02](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5520938c4979598e2f8b4bb8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Supraventricular Tachycardia Poor Perfusion
• Alternative meds:
- Amiodarone loading dose 5mg/kg IV/IO over 20-60 min, repeat to max of 15mg/kg per day IV
or
- Procainamide: loading dose 15mg/kg IV/IO over 30-60 min.

Ventricular Tachycardia
• VT with a pulse vs VT without a pulse
• VT without a pulse is treated like v. fib
• ECG: QRS wide for age > 0.08 sec rate is at least 180 bpm
![Page 14: PALS - Rhythm Disturbance 02](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062312/5520938c4979598e2f8b4bb8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ventricular Tachycardia Adequate Perfusion
Amiodarone 5mg/kg IV over 20-60 minute orProcainimide 15mg/kg over 30-60 minutes orLidocaine: loading dose of 1 mg/kg rapid IV
push followed by infusing 20-50ug/kg per minute
Attempt cardioversion 0.5-1.0 J/kg may increase to 2 J/kg

Ventricular Tachycardia Poor Perfusion
• Therapy:
Immediate cardioversion 0.5-1.0J/kg
Amiodarone 5mg/kg IV over 20-60 minute
or
Procainimide 15mg/kg over 30-60 minutes
or
