(Adenocard)
Conversion of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm. Adenosine slows conduction through the AV node and can interrupt reentry pathways. INDICATIONS
CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Second or third-degree AV block, Sick Sinus Syndrome unless patient with a functional artificial pacemaker. • Adenosine is ineffective in converting atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, or ventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm, but may slow the rhythm momentarily to aid in arrhythmia diagnosis. • Repeat doses of adenosine are not indicated if the dysrhythmia reoccurs after conversion. SIDE EFFECTS
Bradycardia, asystole, ventricular arrhythmias, facial flushing, headache, sweating, palpitations, chest pain. Due to short half-life, adverse effects are generally self-limiting. ADULT DOSE
PEDIATRIC DOSE
0.1 mg/kg; subsequent doses at 0.2 mg/kg. For use in SVT only; do not exceed adult dose. DURATION OF ACTION
By rapid IV bolus followed by a 12 mg bolus if the first is unsuccessful within 1 to 2 minutes. A third dose of 12 mg may be given in 1-2 min if needed. (To assure solution reaches systemic circulation, administer into IV line as proximal as possible over 1 to 2 seconds followed with rapid saline flush). MD CONSULT REQUIRED No
