BACKGROUND:Supraventricular arrhythmias (SVA), including atrial fibrillation and flutter, are common in surgical and nonsurgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients. There is increased mortality among surgical ICU patients who develop new-onset atrial arrhythmias after noncardiac, nonthoracic surgery. We sought to determine the preadmission and intra-ICU factors associated with the development of new-onset SVA and mortality in these patients. METHODS:Consecutive patients (n = 611) admitted to a…

New-onset atrial fibrillation and clinical outcome in non-cardiac intensive care unit patients.
Incidence, Risk Factors and Outcomes of New Onset Supraventricular Arrhythmias in African American Patients with Severe Sepsis.
TLDR
New onset SVA was prevalent in AA patients with severe sepsis and occurred more frequently with advanced age, increased severity of illness, congestive heart failure, and acute respiratory failure; it was associated with higher unadjusted in hospital mortality and did not remain an independent predictor of mortality.
Impact of Sustained Cardiac Tachyarrhythmias Recorded in Coronary Intensive Care Unit on Short- and Long-Term Mortality and Duration of Hospitalization
TLDR
Tachyarrhythmias was associated with prolonged CICU hospitalization, while non-ACS cardiovascular disorders and the occurrence of VAs were associated with increased short- and long-term mortality.
Incidence and predictors of new-onset atrial fibrillation in noncardiac intensive care unit patients.
Significance of new-onset prolonged sinus tachycardia in a medical intensive care unit: a prospective observational study.
Arrhythmias in the paediatric intensive care unit: a prospective study of the rates and predictors of arrhythmias in children without underlying cardiac disease
TLDR
Arrhythmias were common in paediatric intensive care unit patients, although tachyarrhythmias occurred rarely, although central venous lines and use of aminophylline were identified as two clinical factors that may be associated with development of an arrhythmia.
Incidence and prognosis of sustained arrhythmias in critically ill patients.
TLDR
Sustained arrhythmias are observed in 12% of patients admitted to general ICUs, and after adjusting for prognosis factors and propensity scores, ventricular arrh rhythmias still increased mortality but supraventricular arrHythmias and conduction abnormalities did not.
New-onset supraventricular arrhythmia during septic shock: prevalence, risk factors and prognosis
TLDR
A high prevalence of sustained NOSVA was found during septic shock, raising the hypothesis of an acute renocardiac syndrome and its impact on hemodynamics and prognosis.
Update on cardiac arrhythmias in the ICU
TLDR
Supraventricular arrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation, occur frequently in ICU patients andIntensivists not only treat atrialfibrillation itself but also its complications and the complications of the therapies used to prevent these complications.

TLDR
The median time to occurrence of specific arrhythmias in the ‘‘general’’ ICU population of this study was comparable to the time course of atrial fibrillation in noncardiac postoperative patients, which is the single most common arrhythmia in the ICU.

The new onset of atrial arrhythmias following major noncardiothoracic surgery is associated with increased mortality.
TLDR
Patients admitted to a surgical ICU after noncardiothoracic surgery with a history of or who developed new atrial arrhythmias had greater mortality and longer ICU stays than patients without arrh rhythms, and appear to be markers of increased mortality and morbidity.
Supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in the surgical intensive care unit: an under-recognized event.
TLDR
The new onset of a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia in an otherwise stable patient should prompt a search for a treatable cause of sepsis, especially in women and men with an average age of 69.8 years.
Tachyarrhythmias in a surgical intensive care unit: a case-controlled epidemiologic study
TLDR
In surgical patients hypoxia, high cardiac filling pressures, a greater degree of physiologic derangement at admission, and the presence of SIRS and sepsis are independent risk factors for the development of TA.
Incidence and type of cardiac arrhythmias in critically ill patients: a single center experience in a medical-cardiological ICU
TLDR
Only one-fifth of patients in this mixed ICU had significant arrhythmia, taking a contemporary definition of arrhythmias, and Ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation were the most frequent arrh rhythmias.
The clinical course of new-onset atrial fibrillation after elective aortic operations.
Incidence and risk factors of atrial fibrillation in a surgical intensive care unit*
TLDR
In surgical intensive care unit patients, the incidence of AF is greater than in the general population but less than inThe cardiac surgery unit, and the onset of AF reflects the severity of the disease.
Management of paroxysmal atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in the critically ill surgical patient.
TLDR
A preliminary report suggests that adenosine has marginal efficacy in the critically ill surgical or trauma patient, and suppression therapy for the arrhythmia during the period of maximal cardiovascular stress is essential.
Colorectal patients and cardiac arrhythmias detected on the surgical high dependency unit.
TLDR
The postoperative environment of colorectal patients has been radically altered by the introduction of the SHDU and all surgical staff will require training in the recognition and protocol prevention and management of cardiac arrhythmias.
Supraventricular Arrhythmia in Patients Having Noncardiac Surgery: Clinical Correlates and Effect on Length of Stay
TLDR
To test the hypothesis that supraventricular arrhythmia remains a frequent event that is associated with major adverse outcomes after surgery, a consecutive sample of 4181 patients who underwent major, nonemergency, noncardiac procedures and were in sinus rhythm at the preoperative evaluation were studied.
