Cardiac Dysrhythmias in Children Undergoing Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Under General Anesthesia or Propofol Sedation: A Prospective, Observational Cohort Study.
To assess the frequency and severity of cardiac dysrhythmias and identify any intraoperative or postoperative complications in children undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). ⋯ ESWL remains a safe therapy for children with urinary stone disease. Although we experienced more dysrhythmias than currently published literature, there were no long-term adverse outcomes and children were able to go home the same day.
