So today I cardioverted a patient with a flutter at a rate of 55.
I will put this down on the same list of experiences as pacing vtach with pulse of 180.
I find a strange sort of pride in knowing that somebody over in Dallas is probably having nightmares about it.
LOL! Did you do it in an ambulance or an EP lab?
hmm, i am wondering if they tried cardizem on your flutter. To me i think cardizem is a wonder drug. I have seen it used on a whole host of rhythms and never seen it fail to control it, A-fib, A-flutter, SVT, even a Sinus tach.
I would be interested to see A-flutter at 55.
Hmm... A-flutter with 1st degree AV block maybe?
