    A healthy child experienced ventricular tachycardia after succinylcholine infusion during surgery. Prompt administration of propranolol successfully restored normal sinus rhythm, highlighting a potential adverse effect of this anesthetic agent.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Anesthesiology
    • Cardiovascular Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Anesthesia induction for pediatric adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy.
    • No prior history of cardiac arrhythmias in the patient.

    Observation:

    • A 9-year-old male received succinylcholine infusion.
    • Electrocardiograph monitoring revealed a short run of ventricular tachycardia post-infusion.
    • Heart rate increased to 150 beats/min.

    Findings:

    • Ventricular tachycardia occurred in a healthy child after a single dose of succinylcholine.
    • Propranolol administration led to the return of normal sinus rhythm.
    • The event occurred without predisposing cardiac conditions.

    Implications:

  • Succinylcholine may induce ventricular tachycardia in pediatric patients.
  • Early recognition and intervention with beta-blockers can manage this adverse event.
  • Clinical vigilance is crucial for identifying rare anesthetic-related cardiac complications in children.
