There is an intravenous formulation of sotalol which may be substituted for oral sotalol after a dosage adjustment in people unable to take oral medications or for faster achievement of steady-state levels. A healthcare provider will give you this injection as an infusion into your vein. ...
Oral sotalol is a class III antiarrhythmic commonly used for the maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of IV sotalol loading, based primarily on modeling data for the infusion. We aimed to ...
IV sotalol is a new option but pediatric experience is limited. There is no standardized protocol for rapid infusion during acute arrhythmias. This study assessed a single center's initial experience with IV sotalol in young patients, describing a protocol for rapid infusion for acute treatment, ...
Amiodarone infusion was stopped early due to hypotension/bradycardia in two patients; this was not required in any patients receiving sotalol.#For children with postoperative JET, both IV sotalol and amiodarone are safe and efficacious. IV sotalol may lead to a faster improvement in heart rate....
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of IPC versus intravenous (IV) d,l-sotalol and flecainide infusion on transmural atrial electrophysiology and sustained atrial fibrillation (AF) in the goat.doi:10.1111/j.1540-8167.2008.01318.xTHOMAS J. VAN BRAKEL...
Transthoracic cardioversion was performed before and after sotalol 1.5 mg/kg IV infusion. RESULTS In the 14 patients whose AF could be terminated by cardioversion before sotalol infusion, the atrial defibrillation energy was significantly reduced after sotalol infusion (236 卤 74 jules [J] vs. ...
