“…In an attempt to modulate the massive sympathetic activation caused by scorpion envenomation and minimize the need for positive inotropic support with beta-adrenergic agonists, we have followed an antiadrenergic rescue protocol for acutely depressed left ventricular systolic function. This rescue protocol is based on the favorable effects of intravenous amiodarone on critically ill children 23 . Intravenus administration of amiodarone has acute sympatholytic and vagotonic actions 29 .…”

“…Kalzium ist essenziell für die myokardiale Funktion [213,214] Amiodaron hat sich als effektives Medikament bei Arrhythmien im Kindesalter bewährt [291], allerdings sind unerwünschte kardiovaskuläre Nebenwirkungen häufig [270,287,292,297,301]. …”
“…23 The prevalence of postoperative ectopic tachycardia varies according to different authors from 1 to 50%. [27][28][29][30] Most often, it occurs after correction of Fallot's tetralogy or interventions near atrioventricular node. 31 Thus, data from A. DodgeKhatami et al showed 11% rate of atrioventricular ectopy after correction of congenital heart defects whereas overall mortality was reported about 3%.…”

“…31 Thus, data from A. DodgeKhatami et al showed 11% rate of atrioventricular ectopy after correction of congenital heart defects whereas overall mortality was reported about 3%. [29][30][31] The exact cause of ectopic nodal tachycardia is unknown, but it can be assumed that the increase of His automatism is associated with its surgical damage. Meanwhile, direct correlation between the ectopic nodal tachycardia and young age along with lack of magnesium in the postoperative period was revealed.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
