These arrhythmias may or may not be associated with underlying structural heat problems. Post-operative arrhythmias usually occur in those that have had open cardiac surgery. If an arrhythmia is suspected, rapidly assess the infant for signs of respiratory or cardiac decompensation. Immediately run a rhythm strip from the bedside monitor and perform a blood gas to determine acid base, electrolyte, PGL and haemoglobin status. If the child is stable perform a 12-lead ECG. It is also important to perform a 12-lead ECG after the rhythm returns to normal. All arrhythmias should be discussed with the duty NICU consultant.","PeriodicalId":386725,"journal":{"name":"Basic Electrocardiography","volume":"306 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122696645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
