VFib - Ventricular Fibrillation. VTach or VT - Ventricular Drug of 2nd choice (vs amiodarone) to terminate VTach and prevent VFib after DC cardioversion.
Pediatric Dosage of Amiodarone. When using amiodarone to treat VFib or pulseless V-tach, a first dose will be 5mg/kg via IV or IO push. This dose may be
If pulseless VT or Vfib go ahead then defibrillate (unsynched) and continue defibrillating during pulse/rhythm checks. Pulseless VT or Vfib can get amiodarone
Shock-refractory ventricular arrhythmia is commonly defined as ventricular tachycardia (Vtach) or Vfib that persists after either one or (more
Indication: For shock refractory and/or amiodarone refractory VT/VF Dose: Adults: Frequency: Bolus initial dose, consider a second dose after
Pediatric Dosage of Amiodarone. When using amiodarone to treat VFib or pulseless V-tach, a first dose will be 5mg/kg via IV or IO push. This dose may be repeated 1-2 times for refractory VFib or pulseless V-tach. For life threatening arrhythmias, a maximum accumulated dose is 2.2 grams via IV or IO over a 24-hour period.
If pulseless VT or Vfib go ahead then defibrillate (unsynched) and continue defibrillating during pulse/rhythm checks. Pulseless VT or Vfib can get amiodarone
Pediatric Dosage of Amiodarone. When using amiodarone to treat VFib or pulseless V-tach, a first dose will be 5mg/kg via IV or IO push. This dose may be
Defibrillation is the recommended 1st line of treatment for vfib/pVT to reset the heart from its quivering motion. if it is refractory after 2 attempts. Epi is given every 3-5 mins. If still refractory after 3 attempts, amiodarone 300 mg is given.
