Sinus Brady (asymptomatic) | monitor |
Sinus Brady (symptomatic) | pacer pads, Atropine |
Sinus Tachycardia | treat cause |
V Fib | CPR, defibrillation, Epi, Amiodarone |
Asystole | CPR with 100% Oxygen, Epi |
Idioventricular | pacing, Atropine |
V Tach (runs) | Amiodarone |
V Tach (pulseless) | CPR, Amiodarone, Epi |
V Tach (pulse/unstable) | synchronized cardioversion then Amiodarone |
V Tach (pulse/stable) | Amiodarone then synchronized cardioversion |
