About this listen
In the Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm, we should administer an antiarrhythmic medication to patients in V-Fib or pulseless ventricular tachycardia approximately two minutes after the first dose of epinephrine.
The two first-line ACLS antiarrhythmics that are generally used are Amiodarone and Lidocaine.
Review of Lidocaine dosing and administration to patients in persistent V-Fib or pulseless V-Tach.
Review of Amiodarone dosing and administration to patients in persistent V-Fib or pulseless V-Tach.
Use of antiarrhythmic infusions post-cardiac arrest to suppress ventricular ectopy.
Amiodarone use & dosing for stable patients in V-Tach with a pulse.
Good luck with your ACLS class!
