[Supraventricular tachycardia following POR 8 (ornipressin)--administration in an infant].
Prevention of surgical blood loss by local vasoconstrictors is a useful technique in necrectomy after severe burns. It allows excision of large areas and grafting without severe side effects even in very young patients. Nevertheless, we have observed an episode of supraventricular tachycardia in an 11-month-old patient after Ornipressin during wound excision and grafting. Possibilities for prevention and treatment are discussed.
