Amiodarone for Pediatric Resuscitation: A Word of Caution
Pediatric Cardiology, 06/12/09

Fishberger SB et al. - Intravenous administration of amiodarone has recently been recommended for use during pediatric resuscitation of pediatric patients with ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.

Amiodarone is contraindicated in this setting and may have exacerbated the ventricular arrhythmia.
