1 The heart rate remained low for 72 h, and frequent short episodes of bradycardia occurred that were not associated with apnea and that resolved spontaneously [72]. 2 At the time of conception, the mother was placed on a regimen of 160 mg/day. Three weeks prior to term, the propranolol dosage was reduced to 60 mg/day in preparation for the delivery [74]. 3 In case 1, the mother was receiving propranolol 20 mg for times a day at time of delivery [77]. 4 The bradycardia persisted for most of the first 36 h of life, and the heart rate remained between 100 to 120 per minute for most of the second 36 h [77]. 5 Frequent episodes of bradycardia during the first 24 h of life and occasional episodes over the next 48 h [77]. 6 The infant had occasional episodes of bradycardia (heart rate 80 to 90/minute) during the first 48 h of life, but his heart rate generally ranged between 100 to 120/minute [77]. 7 The day prior to the Cesarean section, she received 60 mg propranolol every six hours and 60 mg was given orally six hours before surgery; an additional 3 mg was given intravenously one hour before the operation [78]. 8 The mother was taking 240 mg/day at the time of conception. The dose was decreased to 160 mg/day in the fourth month of pregnancy [79].
