Ventricular Tachycardia
CPR, Defibrilate, amiodarone, epi - ,,,,,,ANSWER,,,,,,,What is this rhythm and
how is it treated?
Ventricular fibrillation
CPR, Amiodarone, Defibrilate, Epi - ,,,,,,ANSWER,,,,,,,What is this rhythm and
how is it treated?
Asystole
CPR & Epinephrine - ,,,,,,ANSWER,,,,,,,What is this rhythm? and how is it
treated?
PVC or premature ventricular contraction
Treat the underlying cause:
,1. hypoxemia (o2)
2. Ischemia (12 lead to confirm)
3. electrolyte imbalance (Mg+ or K+ replacement) - ,,,,,,ANSWER,,,,,,,What is
this rhythm? and how is it treated?
AFib
"control the rate and anticoagulate"
Synchronized Cardioversion and anticoagulation - ,,,,,,ANSWER,,,,,,,What is this
rhythm and how is it treated if unstable?
Give an antidysrhythmic (amiodarone)
Cardizem/Diltiazem
We don't defib because we are worried a clot has formed in the appendages which

Afib treated?
AFib RVR
This is Afib plus tachycardia and it is treated as unstable Afib
, Cardiovert - ,,,,,,ANSWER,,,,,,,What is this rhythm? and how is it treated?
30% - ,,,,,,ANSWER,,,,,,,What percent of cardiac output is lost due to Afib and
loss of "atrial kick"?
this is a calcium channel blocker it decreases BP & decreases HR it is often given
to help reduce the HR in Afib RVR along with Heparin/Warfarin -
,,,,,,ANSWER,,,,,,,What does Cardizem/Diltiazem do?
