Flecainide, dofetilide, propafenone, amiodarone or ibutilide, for AFib. Adenosine, verapamil, diltiazem, metoprolol for supraventricular tachycardia, (SVT)
If resolves, start PO of metoprolol or diltiazem, whichever broke the Afib RVR. Goal HR 110. If persistent, give amiodarone IV bolus 150mg and start amiodarone

2024. TLDR. Prehospital diltiazem administration for AFIB with RVR is safe and Amiodarone appears to be safe and effective in the termination of atrial
Diltiazem. Medications to manage your heart rhythm. Afib treatments that help Amiodarone. Blood thinners (anticoagulant medications). Atrial
Second question is what would be contraindications to using a diltiazem drip for treatment of the initial afib rvr? amiodarone drip the first
If resolves, start PO of metoprolol or diltiazem, whichever broke the Afib RVR. Goal HR 110. If persistent, give amiodarone IV bolus 150mg and start amiodarone
BTW. Standalone CHF taking down an otherwise healty person like that??? No afib, no obesity, no alcoholism, no bundle blockage or left side failure??
