C. You could cardiovert him into asystole.
Etomidate is a garbage drug that is rapidly falling out of favor - I've stopped using it altogether. It's a poor choice for cardioversion. Assuming your patient converts, you'll still be able to talk with your patient and further assess them. Not so with etomidate.
Not nearly as well or reliably. What they need post cardioversion is analgesia. Why chance it?I'm still new to this... Would the versed still have the required effect if given after cardioverting? I.e. you light up the PT, then if the new rhythm is stable you give a little versed...?

Am I the only one that like ketamine here?
