Atrial Fibrillation

Case Summary

62 year old woman presents with lightheadedness. Is found to be in atrial fibrillation. Is initially stable, giving learners the opportunity to do complete history and physical. Patient then becomes unstable, requiring the learners to proceed with cardioversion. A discussion about appropriate discussion for sedation for a hypotensive patient will likely be generated. The cardioversion is successful.
