==Indications And Usage==
 
===Supraventricular Tachycardia or Noncompensatory Sinus Tachycardia===
*BREVIBLOC (Esmolol Hydrochloride) is indicated for the rapid control of ventricular rate in patients with [[atrial fibrillation]] or [[atrial flutter]]in perioperative, postoperative, or other emergent circumstances where short term control of ventricular rate with a short-acting agent is desirable.
*BREVIBLOC is also indicated in noncompensatory [[sinus tachycardia]] where, in the physician’s judgment, the rapid heart rate requires specific intervention.
*BREVIBLOC is intended for short-term use.
 
===Intraoperative and Postoperative Tachycardia and/or Hypertension===
BREVIBLOC (Esmolol Hydrochloride) is indicated for the short-term treatment of [[tachycardia]] and [[hypertension]] that occur during induction and [[tracheal intubation]], during surgery, on emergence from [[anesthesia]] and in the postoperative period, when in the physician’s judgment such specific intervention is considered indicated.
