Treatment of Atrial Fib with RVR
Manage episode 405755509 series 3496059
Atrial Fibrillation with rapid ventricular response is a common cause of EMS activations and ED visits. It is associated with chest discomfort, palpitations, and hypotension. Treatment is aimed at either rhythm control or rate control with rate control being the most common first line approach. EMS has the potential to treat this condition with medications such as diltiazem, metoprolol, or amiodarone. For those patients with hemodynamic instability, EMS can provide synchronized cardioversion. The question for this podcast, however, is does it matter if EMS treats A Fib or not. Dr. Jarvis recorded this episode in front of a live audience at the State of Jefferson conference in beautiful Ashland, Oregon with Mike Verkest, and special guest Dr Maia Dorsett.
