Atrial Fibrillation or Flutter with RVR
Listen now
Description
In atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) and atrial flutter (A-Flutter) the electrical impulse for cardiac contraction is in the atria but isn't the normal pacemaker of the heart, the SA node.
The ECG characteristics of A-Fib and A-Flutter.
Recognition and treatment of unstable patients in A-Fib/Flutter with rapid ventricular response (RVR).
Suggested energy settings for synchronized cardioversion of unstable patients with a narrow complex tachycardia.
Team safety when cardioverting an unstable patient in A-FIB/Flutter.
Adenosine’s role for stable SVT patients with atrial rhythms.
Treatment of stable patients in A-Fib/Flutter with RVR.
