Pediatric Basic Dysrhythmias
Pediatric rhythm disturbances are assessed by perfusion and treated based on AHA/ARC guidelines.
About
Severity of pediatric rhythm disturbances is not difficult if you can correlate it to their perfusion assessment. We will visualize and discuss each of the main three categories of pediatric cardiac rhythm disturbances and their emergent treatment based on the AHA/ARC guidelines. Whether on a pediatric prehospital call or in the emergency department this discussion is intended to help you stay focused and purposeful when dealing with pediatric cardiac rhythms.
