Abstract

Tachycardia is common in the pediatric age group, and is defined as the presence of a heart rate value greater than expected for age. It is affected by numerous factors and varies in part with age. The heart rate is usually between 110 and 150 beats per minute in infants, with a gradual slowing over the next six years. The case is here presented of a newborn with intraoperative sinus tachycardia and hypercarbia while undergoing bilateral inguinal herniectomy.
