Bradycardia Bradycardia in an adult is any heart rate less than 60 beats per minute (BPM), although symptoms usually manifest only for heart rates less than 50. The word bradycardia is from the Greek βραδύς, bradys slow, and καρδία, kardia, heart.

How to Check a Femoral Pulse in a Newborn Compare the femoral pulse with the newborn’s radial pulse. Locate the baby’s radial pulse on the inside of her wrist, just below her thumb. Apply gentle pressure with the tips of your index and middle fingers to her radial pulse at the same time as you apply pressure to her femoral pulse.

Bradycardia and Apnea in Preemies Bradycardia means a slower than normal heart rhythm. In newborns, a heart rate is termed bradycardia if it falls below 100 beats per minute in a baby less than 1250 g (2 lb 12 oz) or to less than 80 beats per minute in a bigger baby. When babies are in the NICU, their hearts are monitored, and episodes of bradycardia are treated with stimulation.

Bradycardia Algorithm Review Atropine: The first drug of choice for symptomatic bradycardia. Dose in the Bradycardia ACLS algorithm is 0.5mg IV push and may repeat up to a total dose of 3mg. Dopamine: Second-line drug for symptomatic bradycardia when atropine is not effective. Dosage is 2-10 micrograms/kg/min infusion. Epinephrine: Can be used as an equal alternative to dopamine when atropine is not effective.

BLS - Pediatric Resuscitation See the list below: 1  In children, attach and use AED as soon as available. 2  In infants, there are currently no defibrillation recommendations. 3  Minimize interruptions in chest compressions before and after shock.  Resume CPR beginning with compressions immediately after each shock.

- These are the normal heart rate values. 1  A heart rate above the normal values is referred to as tachycardia, a heart rate below the normal values is referred to as bradycardia: 2  Infants: 100 to 160 beats per minute. 3  Children 1 to 10 years: 70 to 120 beats per minute. 4  Children over 10 and adults: 60 to 100 beats per minute.

Fetal Heart Rate Baseline Abnormalities: Bradycardia Intrapartum fetal bradycardia in the context of a previously normal baseline in labor, particularly when combined with absent or minimal fetal heart rate variability, needs immediate evaluation to identify and correct the underlying cause.

Background Sinus bradycardia can be defined as a sinus rhythm with a resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute or less. However, few patients actually become symptomatic until their heart rate drops to less than 50 beats per minute. The action potential responsible for this rhythm arises from the sinus node and causes a P wave on the surface ECG that is normal in terms of both amplitude and vector.

ACLS and Epinephrine 1 Intravenous Push/IO: 1mg epinephrine IV is given every 3-5 minutes.  IV infusion for bradycardia: 1mg epinephrine is mixed with 500ml of NS or D5W. The infusion should run at 2-10 micrograms/min (titrated to effect).

A Review of Medications for Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Atropine is also indicated as first-line therapy for bradycardia related to cholinergic drug toxicity. Epinephrine remains the primary drug of choice for all other causes of bradycardia. The dose of atropine for pediatric resuscitation is 0.02 mg/kg. It should be administered rapidly and may be repeated after 5 minutes. Doses less than 0.1 mg may produce paradoxical bradycardia.

Bradycardia Algorithm Review For the patient with symptomatic bradycardia with signs of poor perfusion, transcutaneous pacing is the treatment of choice. Do not delay TCP for the patient with symptomatic bradycardia with signs of poor perfusion. TCP rate should use 60/min as a starting rate and adjust up or down based on the patient’s clinical response. The dose for pacing should be set at 2mA (milliamperes) above the dose that produces observed capture.

Pediatric Tachycardia Algorithm This is for patients with significant symptoms. The treatment of all patients in distress begins with the basics. Tachycardia is no different. Oxygen if indicated by pulse oximetry less than 95% or shortness of breath. Maintain airway. Place the patient on the cardiac monitor. Monitor vital signs, including oximetry.

- 1 Respiratory rate on infants should be counted for a full 60 seconds. 2  In a clinically decompensating child, the blood pressure will be the last to change. 3  Just because your pediatric patient's BP is normal, don't assume that your patient is stable.

Normal Pulse Rates for Kids Parents often know that their own pulse rate or heart rate should be within about 60-100 beats per minute. They are often surprised that younger kids can normally have a higher pulse rate than adults.

digoxin (Lanoxin) Also notify health care propranolol used for tremors professional promptly of any significant changes in rate, rhythm, or quality of pulse. Pedi: Heart rate varies in children depending on age, ask health care professional to specify at what heart rates digoxin should be withheld.

Pediatric ECG With Junctional Rhythm Pediatric ECG With Junctional Rhythm. Tue, 10/07/2014 - 00:07 -- Dawn. This ECG, taken from a nine-year-old girl, shows a regular rhythm with a narrow QRS and an unusual P wave axis. Unfortunately, we do not have any clinical information. Normally, P waves are positive in Leads I, II, and aVF and negative in aVR.

- The typical analgesia provided according to the recent survey of pediatric surgeons is a bupivacaine block (30%) and/or acetaminophen (30%). All former preterm infants less than 55 weeks PCA should be monitored at least 24 hours for the risk of postoperative apnea. very small infant should not be NPO for longer than 2-3 hours without consideration of intravenous fluids. These infants are at risk for hypoglycemia, and appropriate glucose administration (5-8 mg/kg/min) should be provided both preoperatively and intraoperatively, usually with D-5 0.2 NS at 4 ml/kg/hr.

- 1 The patient's normal range should always be taken into consideration. 2  Heart rate, BP & respiratory rate are expected to increase during times of fever or stress. 3  Respiratory rate on infants should be counted for a full 60 seconds. 4  In a clinically decompensating child, the blood pressure will be the last to change.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): First aid 1 Following the two breaths, immediately begin the next cycle of compressions and breaths. 2  After five cycles (about two minutes) of CPR, if there is no response and an AED is available, apply it and follow the prompts. 3  Use pediatric pads if available, for children ages 1 through 8. Do not use an AED for children younger than age 1. Administer one shock, then resume CPR — starting with chest compressions — for two more minutes before administering a second shock. 2  If you're not trained to use an AED, a 911 or other emergency medical operator may be able to guide you in its use.

- If your child’s heart beats too fast (a condition known as tachycardia), or too slow (bradycardia), it might affect the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently to the rest of the body. Irregular blood flow can damage organs, including the kidneys, liver, heart, and brain.

Approach to Pediatric Tachycardia Click for pdf: Tachycardia. Tachycardia is an abnormally rapid heart rate. In adults, this is usually defined as >100 beats per minute (bpm). In pediatrics, the normal heart rate varies with age (see Table 1). Therefore, in children, the definition of tachycardia is age dependent.

Normal Pulse Rate in Children Infants and children have a higher pulse rate than adults. A child's pulse will be higher after exercising and lower while she is resting. Pulse rate is not the same thing as blood pressure. A child's pulse rate is how many times her heart beats per minute.Blood pressure is the amount of pressure that the pumping blood applies to her arteries. Pulse rates can be measured at home, while blood pressure should be measured by a doctor or nurse. normal pulse rate for children under one year old ranges from 90 to 170 beats per minute. This decreases slightly throughout the child's first year, but pulse rates up to 170 beats per minute are considered normal. Comstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images.

Apnea and Bradycardia Bradycardia (bray-dee-car'-dee-ah) is the medical term for a heart rate that is too slow. How slow is too slow varies. Babies usually have heart rates faster than adults do; so a heart rate of 80 may be fine for an adult but may be low for a newborn.

Normal Pulse Rates for Kids As you can see, younger kids normally have faster heart rates than teenagers. On the other hand, very athletic teens can have resting pulse rates as low as 40-50 beats/min. This is because they are so fit, their muscle does not have to work or pump as hard to get blood through the body.
