Atrial Tachycardia: Definition and Treatment
Options
MAX Dose - Maximum allowable dosage for medications administered.
Multi-focal Atrial Tachycardia - Multiple ectopic foci causing rapid atrial rates.
PRN - As needed; indicates repeat treatment if necessary.
Sedation Procedure - Guidelines for sedating patients during interventions.
Subsequent Shock Dose - Energy level for following shocks; 200 joules.
SVT - Supraventricular tachycardia; rapid heart rate from atria.
Synchronized Cardioversion - Procedure to restore normal heart rhythm using
shocks.
Unstable A-tach - Presence of symptoms like AMS or low BP.
Vagal Maneuvers - Techniques to stimulate vagus nerve, slowing heart.
Ventricular Rate - Speed at which ventricles contract; critical in A-tach.
