Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common type of arrhythmia observed in children, especially in newborns. Infants with severe SVT must be treated immediately with first-line drugs such as amiodarone. There are some minor and major side effects of amiodarone in this patient group, but no associated electrolyte disorders have been observed. This report describes a newborn whose recurrent SVT attacks during amiodarone treatment were suspected to have been caused by hyperkalemia.
室上性心动过速(SVT)是儿童尤其是新生儿中最常见的心律失常类型。患有严重室上性心动过速的婴儿必须立即使用胺碘酮等一线药物进行治疗。在该患者群体中,胺碘酮存在一些轻微和严重的副作用,但未观察到相关的电解质紊乱。本报告描述了一名新生儿,其在胺碘酮治疗期间反复发作的室上性心动过速被怀疑是由高钾血症引起的。
