Abstract Aim: This retrospective case series study sought to describe the safety and clinical effectiveness of propafenone for the control of arrhythmias in children with and without CHD or cardiomyopathy. Methods: We reviewed baseline characteristics and subsequent outcomes in a group of 63 children treated with propafenone at 2 sites over a 15-year period Therapy was considered effective if no clinically apparent breakthrough episodes of arrhythmias were noted on the medication. Results: Sixty-three patients (29 males) were initiated on propafenone at a median age of 2.3 years. CHD or cardiomyopathy was noted in 21/63 (33%). There were no significant differences between demographics, clinical backgrounds, antiarrhythmic details, side effect profiles, and outcomes between children with normal hearts and children with CHD or cardiomyopathy. Cardiac depression at the initiation of propafenone was more common amongst children with CHD or cardiomyopathy compared to children with normal hearts. Systemic ventricular function was diminished in 15/63 patients (24%) prior to starting propafenone and improved in 8/15 (53%) of patients once better rhythm control was achieved. Other than one child in whom medication was stopped due to gastroesophageal reflux, no other child experienced significant systemic or cardiac side effects during treatment with propafenone. Propafenone achieved nearly equal success in controlling arrhythmias in both children with normal hearts and children with congenital heart disease or cardiomyopathy (90% versus 86%, p = 0.88). Conclusion: Propafenone is a safe and effective antiarrhythmic medication in children.

Background: Amitraz is a pharmaceutical, veterinary, and agricultural product which is used worldwide to control ectoparasites in animals. Its widespread use has led to increased cases of poisoning in rural parts of India. Aim: To study the clinical features, complications, laboratory abnormalities and outcome of the patients with acute amitraz intoxication. Methodology: The study is a retrospective case series study conducted in HSK hospital between the period of Feb 2019 and May 2020. Results: A total of 11 patients were analysed and results revealed CNS depression and vomiting in 8 of those patients with 1 patient with respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. Conclusion: Amitraz poisoning appears to be severe with CNS depression being the most common symptom. But most patients stabilise and recover quickly. Patients should be monitored for respiratory failure as it is a dreadful complication. Treatment is symptomatic as no antidote is available.
