When used to treat SVT, adenosine is administered intravenously as a rapid bolus (typically 0.10–0.15 mg/kg initially) over 1-2 seconds, followed by a rapid saline flush (often using a 2-way or 3-way stopcock).

Women are 4-5 times more likely to develop a clot during pregnancy and in the postpartum period than when they are not pregnant.

The main symptom is palpitations.

[4] These signs include regular contractions lasting at least 30 seconds at a rate of at least four every 30 minutes, [4] and dilation of the cervix (the neck of the womb) of 1 to 3 cm and an effacement (a measure of the thinness of the cervix ...
