Pulseless VT is treated the same way as Ventricular Fibrillation would in AHA ACLS
2016 Guidelines. CPR with immediate Defibrillatory shock is recommended.
Biphasic Defibrillators: 120 - 200 Joules or recommended. Monophasic Defibrillators:
360 J. Other secondary interventions can be started if IV/IO access has been established.
Medications that can be given with pVT given during compressions:
- Epinephrine 1mg IVP/IO (1:10,000) every
3-5 mins.
- For refractory pVT: Amiodarone 300mg
IVP/IO for the 1st dose; 150mg IVP/IO for the 2nd dose
- For possible hypokalemia: Lidocaine
1-1.5mg/kg VP/lO 1st dose; 0.5-0.75mg/kg
2nd dose
