Atrial Tachycardia in the neonatal period. A case presentation
Abstract
The rhythm´s disorders during neonatal period are relatively frequent and they include a varied clinical spectrum, generally benign, but there are gravity situations, which we must be able to identify and treat. In most cases, nowadays, we have prenatal diagnosis and even the possibility of initiating an intrauterine treatment. They are more frequent in the premature population and generally they disappear in the first days of life. It is shown a case of a term birth newborn with good birth weight who presents an episode of atrial tachycardia during the first 24 hours of life. It is described the patient´s management and it is done a brief comment of the topic.Downloads
