Anesthetic Management of Pericardial Tamponade During Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation in a Child with Supraventricular Tachycardia
摘要
A 6-year-old girl with supraventricular tachycardia was scheduled for radiofrequency catheter ablation. During the procedure, she developed pericardial tamponade, which showed a significant reduction in heart rate and blood pressure. The patient’s hemodynamics were stabilized after the timely treatment of inotropic medicines and fluid replacement. Pericardial tamponade is a serious complication of radiofrequency catheter ablation. Early detection and timely relief of pericardial tamponade are the key to determining the patient’s outcomes.
