Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia

In pulseless ventricular tachycardia and electromechanical dissociation, organized electrical activity is present but fails to produce a detectable cardiac output.

In a patient who is in the middle of a cardiac arrest 12 lead electrocardiography is impractical; use a cardiac monitor to determine the rhythm, and any broad complex tachycardia should be assumed to be ventricular in origin.

Pulseless ventricular tachycardia is managed in the same way as ventricular fibrillation, early defibrillation being the mainstay of treatment.^[1]
