TABLE 1.

Arrhythmias in isolated perfused newborn hearts before and after exposure to either intralipid or propofol

Exposure Sinus bradycardia Heart block AV dissociation with ventricular tachyarrhythmia Ventricular tachycardia (without AV block) Asystole
Pre‐exposure
Intralipid 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0)
Propofol 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0)
Post‐exposure
Intralipid 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0)
Propofol 8 (100) 7 (87.5) 7 (87.5) 1 (12.5) 1 (12.5)

Note: Values represent number of hearts. Percentages of hearts are shown in parentheses. Onset of arrhythmia was significantly associated with propofol exposure (p < 0.001 as assessed with Fisher's exact test). n = 6 intralipid‐exposed hearts, 8 propofol‐exposed hearts. AV indicates atrioventricular.

Abbreviation: AV indicates atrioventricular.
