F Stocker,F Wyler,

Emergencies in pediatric cardiology are heart failure, cyanosis and rhythm disturbances. The signs of heart failure are tachycardia, tachypnea and hepatomegaly. The therapy consists of oxygen, diuretics and digoxin. Occasionally, intubation with mechanical ventilation and intravenous catecholamines are needed. Cyanosis is often the only sign of a severe heart malformation, and prompt hospitalization is mandatory. Oxygen and warm environment is important during transport, correction of a possible metabolic acidosis and prostaglandin infusion are done in the hospital. Beyond the newborn period, so-called cyanotic spells are seen, particularly in tetralogy of Fallot. In supraventricular tachycardia, vagal manoeuvres can be tried first, if not successful, intravenous adenosine or electroconversion will restore sinus rhythm. In the older child, intravenous isoptin can be given. Slow heart rates from total AV block or sinus node affection are treated with atrophic, isuprel or electrical pacing.
