Three anesthesiologists reviewed relevant data of perioperative non-hypoxic bradycardia in pediatric patients. A descriptive statistical method was used./span/p p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: ";Microsoft Sans Serif";,";sans-serif";; color: #003300;"Results: There were 49 cases of perioperative non-hypoxic bradycardia in pediatric patients (2.4% of all 1996 incident reports or 13.4% of all incident reports from pediatric patients). Anesthesia (71%) was a major factor that related to the bradycardia, wheareas 19% and 10% were surgical and patient factors, respectively. Sixty percent of cases occurred during induction, of which 80% (24 out of 30 cases) and 10% were considered as anesthesia-related or combination of anesthesia and patient factors. Sixty percent (9 out of 15 cases) of bradycardia during the maintenance phase was surgery-related particularly in ophthalmologic surgery. Four cases (8.1%) of all bradycardia occurred during the emergence and recovery phase of which 78% was considered anesthesia-related. All bradycardia had complete recovery. Sixty-three percent of events were preventable. Major contributing factors were lack of adequate knowledge (55%) and inappropriate decision-making (22%)./span/p span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: ";Microsoft Sans Serif";,";sans-serif";; mso-fareast-font-family: ";Times New Roman";; color: #003300; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: TH;"Conclusion: Most perioperative non-hypoxic bradycardia incidences were anesthesia-related and most common during the induction phase. Improved supervision, additional training and vigilance were suggested corrective strategies./span |
