80/20 Summary: Pediatric Arrhythmia Management & Algorithms[1] 1. Core Assessment & Stability Principles Hemodynamic Instability: Recognized by respiratory failure, shock with poor end-organ perfusion (with or without hypotension), altered mental status/irritability, chest pain, or sudden collapse[1].Initial Actions: Support ABCs, give high-concentration O₂, attach ECG/oximetry/BP monitor, obtain IV/IO access, and record a 12-lead ECG without delaying emergency care[1].2. Pediatric Bradycardia Algorithm (With Pulse & Poor Perfusion) Primary Trigger: HR 3. Pediatric Tachycardia Algorithm (With Pulse) Classify by QRS width: Narrow (≤0.09 sec) vs Wide (>0.09 sec)[8][9]. A. Narrow QRS (≤0.09 sec) Sinus Tachycardia (ST): HR
