Overview

Immediate defibrillation is the main intervention for pVT.


Defibrillation[1][2]

  • As opposed to other unstable Ventricular tachycardias, PVT should be managed with immediate defibrillation. A high energy defibrillator (150-200 J on biphasic and 360 J on monophasic) should be used for the initial shock dose, followed by an equal or higher shock dose for successive shocks
  • 5 CPR cycles each containing 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths should be done after the first shock is delivered. Each subsequent shock should be followed by airway management with Oxygen delivery, and IV access with vasopressors.
