Abstract

Objective: Retrospective analysis for treatment approaches of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) during the prenatal and postnatal period.Material and Methods: Fifteen new-born patients who were followed with supraventricular tachycardia were analysed retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups as prenatal onset (PreOSVT) and postnatal onset (PostOSVT).Results: Eight patients (53%) were diagnosed with PreOSVT and 7 patients (47%) were diagnosed with PostOSVT. It was observed that, 0.1 mg/kg dose of adenosine was used in all patient as a fi rst line treatment, 4 antiarrhythmic agents (amiodarone, propranolol, adenosine, digoxin) were used in 4 patients, 5 antiarrhythmic agents (amiodarone, propranolol, adenosine, digoxin, propafenone) were used in one patient and the cardioversion procedure was used in 2 patients with PreOSVT and one patient with PostOSVT.Conclusion: Treatment approaches and the results are similar in patients with PreOSVT and PostOSVT

Abstract

Amaç: Prenatal ve postnatal dönemde supraventriküler taşikardi (SVT) tanısı alan yenidoğanların tedavi şekillerinin retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesi.Gereç ve Yöntemler: SVT tanısı ile takip edilen 15 yenidoğan retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastalar SVT başlangıç zamanına göre prenatal başlangıçlı SVT (PreBSVT) ve postnatal başlangıçlı SVT (PostBSVT) olarak iki gruba ayrıldı.Bulgular: PreBSVT; 8 hastada (%53), PostBSVT; 7 hastada (%47) saptandı. Tüm hastalara atak sırasında ilk ilaç olarak intravenöz 0.1 mg/kg adenozin tedavisi verildiği, 4 hastada 4’lü antiaritmik (Adenozin, digoksin, amiadoron, Propranolol), 1 hastada 5’li antiaritmik (Adenozin, digoksini, amiadoron, Propranolol, Propafenon) kullanıldığı ve PreBSVT tanılı 2 hastaya ve PostBSVT tanılı 1 hastaya kardiyoversiyon uygulandığı görüldü.Sonuç: PreBSVT ve PostSVT tanılı hastalarda SVT’nin tedavi yaklaşımları ve sonuçları benzerdir.
