Résumé

Various agents may be utilized to manage supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in neonates and infants. Recently, sotalol has piqued interest given its reported success in managing neonates and infants with SVTs, especially with the intravenous formulation. While the manufacturer recommends using an age-related nomogram in neonates and young infants to guide doses, clinical reports describe various dosing based on weight (mg/kg) or on body surface area (BSA) in mg/m This is a single center retrospective study evaluating effective sotalol dosing from January 2011 and June 2021 (inclusive). Neonates who received intravenous (IV) or oral (PO) sotalol for SVT were eligible for inclusion. The primary outcome was to describe sotalol doses based on body weight and BSA. Secondary outcomes include comparison of doses to the manufacturer nomogram, description of dose titrations, reported adverse outcomes, and change in therapy. Two-sided Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to determine statistically significant differences. Thirty-one eligible patients were included in this study. The median (range) age and weight were 16.5 (1-28) days and 3.2 (1.8-4.9) kg, respectively. The median initial dose was 7.3 (1.9-10.8) mg/kg or 114.3 (30.9-166.7) mg/m This study demonstrates that a sotalol strategy significantly higher than the manufacture dose recommendations are required for rhythm control in neonates with SVT. There were few adverse events reported with this dosing. Further prospective studies would be advantageous to confirm these findings.
