Defibrillation is the recommended 1st line of treatment for vfib/pVT to reset the heart from its quivering motion. if it is refractory after 2 attempts. Epi is given every 3-5 mins. If still refractory after 3 attempts, amiodarone 300 mg is given.
High-dose epinephrine is Amiodarone or lidocaine may be consideration to Vfib/pulseless Vtach that is unresponsive to defibrillation.
The recommended FIRST IV dose of amiodarone for a patient with refractory VFib (Ventricular Fibrillation) is 300 mg. This initial dose can be followed by one repeat dose of 150 mg if necessary. Amiodarone is used in emergency settings for life-threatening arrhythmias such as VFib, which does not respond to standard defibrillation techniques.
Question: What is the recommended dose of amiodarone for patient in cardiac arrest with Vfib/VT that is unresponsive to defibrillation?
Pediatric Dosage of Amiodarone. When using amiodarone to treat VFib or pulseless V-tach, a first dose will be 5mg/kg via IV or IO push. This dose may be repeated 1-2 times for refractory VFib or pulseless V-tach. For life threatening arrhythmias, a maximum accumulated dose is 2.2 grams via IV or IO over a 24-hour period.
