Lidocaine: Drug of 2nd choice (vs amiodarone) to terminate VTach and prevent VFib after DC cardioversion. Used only in a
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
amiodarone or lidocaine is not effective for refractory VFib. While refractory ventricular fibrillation: the DOSE VF pilot
The recommended FIRST IV dose of amiodarone for a patient with refractory VFib (Ventricular Fibrillation) is 300 mg. This initial dose can be followed by one repeat dose of 150 mg if necessary. Amiodarone is used in emergency settings for life-threatening arrhythmias such as VFib, which does not respond to standard defibrillation techniques.
Pulseless VT or Vfib can get amiodarone 300mg bolus, second dose can be 150mg. (1st dose 6mg, 2nd dose 12mg, 3rd dose 12mg) with warning to patient they
If pulseless VT or Vfib go ahead then defibrillate (unsynched) and continue defibrillating during pulse/rhythm checks. Pulseless VT or Vfib can get amiodarone
Describe the ACLS algorithm for cardiac arrest due to Vfib or pulseless Vtach - amiodarone IV/IO first dose 300 mg - second dose 150 mg.
