| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Sinus Brady (asymptomatic) | monitor |
| Sinus Brady (symptomatic) | pacer pads, Atropine |
| Sinus Tachycardia | treat cause |
| V Fib | CPR, defibrillation, Epi, Amiodarone |
| Asystole | CPR with 100% Oxygen, Epi |
| Idioventricular | pacing, Atropine |
| V Tach (runs) | Amiodarone |
| V Tach (pulseless) | CPR, Amiodarone, Epi |
| V Tach (pulse/unstable) | synchronized cardioversion then Amiodarone |
| V Tach (pulse/stable) | Amiodarone then synchronized cardioversion |
| PVC | Oxygen, Amiodarone |
| SVT | Cardioversion, Adenosine, vagal maneuver |
