When a newborn is diagnosed with tachyarrhythmia, they are generally started on medical therapies, most commonly a beta-blocker, while being observed in an inpatient setting. In most academic institutions, current practice is to provide parental teaching on use of a stethoscope to auscultate their child when there is suspicion for distress, in addition to requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) classes. Fortunately, newer technologies have emerged that allow for capture of cardiac rhythm that may provide a buffer between the infant and the emergency room.
