About

The simulation describes how to manage pediatric SVT in emergency situations. It explains how to manage both stable and unstable SVT using PALS guidelines. The scenario involves a 12-month-old boy with rapid heart rate, where initial treatments like vagal maneuvers and adenosine fail, leading to the need for cardioversion. The text highlights the importance of ECGs, medication dosing, and team communication during resuscitation. It also includes educational goals for medical professionals on recognizing symptoms and managing treatment effectively while addressing concerns from the patient's family.
