First Initial Rapid Evaluation of Suspected Narrow Complex Tachycardia

Shown below is an algorithm for the First Initial Rapid Evaluation (FIRE) of suspected NCT

 
 
 
 
 
 
Identify cardinal signs and symptoms that increase the pretest probability of NCT

Palpitations (Most common presentation)
Tachycardia
Hypotension
Loss of consciousness
❑ Severe dyspnea

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Unstable patient
 
 
 
 
 
Stable patient
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If the rhythm isn't sinus:
❑ Urgent DC cardioversion
 
If the rhythm is sinus:

❑ Control the rate:

❑ IV metoprolol (2.5 to 5 mg over 2 minutes up to a maximum of 15 mg)
❑ Treat the underlying cause
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
❑ Assess airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC)
❑ Administer oxygen if necessary
