Termination of supraventricular tachycardia by propofol

Br J Anaesth. 2002 Jun;88(6):874-5.

Abstract

It is known that propofol can have effects on atrioventricular node conduction. We report a case where administration of propofol was associated with termination of supraventricular tachycardia. Although a similar phenomenon has been reported in children, this is the first such case in an adult.
