Case Summary
A 65 year old man presents to the ED with “fast heart beat”. He rhythm is found to be ventricular tachycardia. He is initially stable. He then becomes hypotensive and develops chest pain. As the learners are preparing to cardiovert, he loses his pulse. The learners will review the tenants of good quality CPR before defibrillating the patient. After defibrillation, he will regain his pulse.
