Defibrillators
• Defibrillators are either manual o automated (AED).
• AED can be used for infants and children up to
approximately 25 kg (8 years of age).
• In infants 1 year of age a manual defibrillator is
preferred.

Defibrillators
Paddle Size
Two sizes of hand-held paddle
“Adult” size : 8 to 10 cm for children > 10 kg
( approximately 1 year)
“Infant” size :4-5 cm for infants < 10 kg
Defibrillators
Paddle Position:
Place over the right side of the upper chest and the
apex of the heart (to the left of the nipple over the
left lower ribs) so the heart is between the two
paddles.
Apply firm pressure
Defibrillators
Interface:
• Gel pads, electrode cream or paste, or selfadhesive monitoring-defibrillation pads.
• Do not use saline-soaked pads, ultrasound gel,
bare paddles, or alcohol pads.
Defibrillators
Energy Dose:
•
Initial dose of 2 J/kg
•
Increase the dose to 4 J/kg
•
Higher energy levels may be considered, not to
exceed 10 J/kg or the adult maximum dose.

Bradycardia
• Emergency treatment of bradycardia is indicated
when the rhythm results in hemodynamic
compromise:
• Hypotension
• Acutely altered mental status
• Signs of shock
Atropine
• 0.02 mg/kg IV/IO (Repeat once if needed)
– Minimum dose: 0.1 mg
– Max single dose: 0.5 mg
Bradycardia
• Pacing is not useful for asystole or bradycardia due
to postarrest hypoxic/ ischemic myocardial insult or
respiratory failure.
Narrow-Complex (<0.09 Second) Tachycardia
Supraventricular Tachycardia
Rate
A rate of >220 beats/min in an infant or >180
beats/min in a child, with a rate out of proportion to
clinical status, is likely SVT
P wave
morphology usually varies from sinus
QRS
normal (unless associated with aberrant ventricular
conduction).
Conduction
P-R interval depends on the status of AV conduction
tissue and atrial rate: may be normal, abnormal, or
not measurable.
Supraventricular Tachycardia
Monitor rhythm during therapy
Vagal stimulation:
• Infants and young children: apply ice to the
face without occluding the airway
• older children: carotid sinus massage or
Valsalva maneuvers
Do not apply pressure to the eye because this can
damage the retina.
Supraventricular Tachycardia
Pharmacologic Cardioversion:
Adenosine : The drug of choice.
First dose: 0.1 mg/kg (maximum 6 mg)
Second dose: 0.2 mg/kg (maximum 12 mg)
Verapamil: Effective in older children
Dose: 0.1 to 0.3 mg/kg
Supraventricular Tachycardia
For a patient with SVT unresponsive to vagal
maneuvers and adenosine:
• Amiodarone 5 mg/kg IO/IV
• Procainamide 15 mg/kg IO/IV
IF the patient is hemodynamically unstable or if
adenosine is ineffective:
synchronized cardioversion Start with a dose of 0.5 - 1 J/kg,
increase the dose to 2 J/kg.

Sinus Tachycardia
• If the rhythm is sinus tachycardia, search
for and treat reversible causes.(6 H,5T)
Wide-Complex (>0.09 Second)
Tachycardia
VT
Hypotention
Hypotension is defined as a systolic blood
pressure:
 60 mm Hg in term neonates (0 to 28 days)
 70 mm Hg in infants (1 month to 12 months)
 70 mm Hg  (2  age in years) in children 1 to 10
years
 90 mm Hg in children 10 years of age
Wide-Complex Tachycardia
Hemodynamically unstable patients:
Synchronized cardioversion 2–4 J/kg up to 10 J/kg
Hemodynamically stable patients:
• Adenosine :useful in differentiating SVT from VT
• Amiodarone :5 mg/kg over 20 to 60 minutes
• Procainamide :15 mg/kg given over 30 to 60
minutes
QUESTION???
3 year old child with new-onset seizures, who
developed sudden cardiac arrest in the ED
Pulseless VT
Treatment : Defibrillation
First shock: 2 J/kg
Second shock: 4 J/kg up to 10 J/kg
After one shock:
Treatment:
• Check monitor lead
• Chest compression & CPR immediately
• Epinephrine.
5 year old child with cyanosis & agitation
Sinus Tachycardia
• Search for and treat reversible causes:
OT> 40°C
Fever is the caues of Sinus Tachycardia and shoud be
treated
8 year old child with new-onset
palpitation
Supraventricular Tachycardia
• Hemodynamically stable:
– Vagal stimulation
– Adenosine
• Hemodynamically unstable:
– Perform electric synchronized cardioversion Start with
a dose of 0.5 - 1 J/kg, increase the dose to 2 J/kg
