My county is in the process of making the switch from Lidocaine to Amiodarone per arrest protocol. Im currently in Medic school and the problem is the majority of our instructors are old school retired Medics/RN's who have NO field experiance with amiodarone and constantly bad mouth it because it has a ridiculosly long half life, (somewhere around 3 months) and can cause problems down the road with vision.
My question is for anyone out there how has used both and can fill me in on the pros and cons of each
