The ECG was done because the heart rate was 230 and the differential included SVT vs. sinus tachycardia. This is typical of pediatric ECGs because the fetal circulation depends on the right ventricle. Thus, what appear to be p-waves are indeed p-waves (see leads II and V1). This is from a febrile 3 month old infant.
