A 45-year-old woman with a history of palpitations develops light-headedness and palpitations. She has
received adenosine 6 mg IV for the rhythm shown here (SVT), without conversion of the rhythm. She is
n9ow extremely apprehensive. Her blood pressure is 128/70 mm Hg. What is the next appropriate
intervention?
A. administer adenosine 12 mg IV
B. perform unsynchronized cardioversion
C. perform vagal maneuvers
