Quote from CLC1:Are there medications for V-Tach? Or is it treated just by a defibrillator?
SOMETIMES, you can treat vtach with amiodarone or lidocaine, but the best standard of care treatment is cardioversion (not defibrillation...it's a bit different), which is important because this rhythm can turn in to something nasty--i.e. ventricular fibrillation.
