Pulseless VT or Vfib can get amiodarone 300mg bolus, second dose can be 150mg. (1st dose 6mg, 2nd dose 12mg, 3rd dose 12mg) with warning to patient they
Pediatric Dosage of Amiodarone. When using amiodarone to treat VFib or pulseless V-tach, a first dose will be 5mg/kg via IV or IO push. This dose
Pediatric Dosage of Amiodarone. When using amiodarone to treat VFib or pulseless V-tach, a first dose will be 5mg/kg via IV or IO push. This dose may be repeated 1-2 times for refractory VFib or pulseless V-tach. For life threatening arrhythmias, a maximum accumulated dose is 2.2 grams via IV or IO over a 24-hour period.
High-dose epinephrine is Amiodarone or lidocaine may be consideration to Vfib/pulseless Vtach that is unresponsive to defibrillation.
Describe the ACLS algorithm for cardiac arrest due to Vfib or pulseless Vtach - amiodarone IV/IO first dose 300 mg - second dose 150 mg.
