Use the following chart as a quick checklist to review what’s normal and what’s not in a paediatric ECG.
Remember:
- Lead V4R in under5’s
- Manually calculate QTc
- WPW needs referral for ablation – increase risk of sudden death
If in any doubt discuss with paediatric registrar/senior. If in need of urgent interven:on then contact the paediatric cardiology team in LGI.
