📢 READ CAPTION ⚠️ Cardioversion is a medical procedure used to restore a normal heart rhythm in individuals with certain types of abnormal heart rhythms, particularly atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. It involves delivering a controlled electric shock to the heart, either externally through the chest wall or internally via catheters placed within the heart. There are two main types of CARDIOVERSION: 🔷Synchronized Cardioversion: This form is used for irregular rhythms like atrial fibrillat

⭕SVT Rate: 150bpm with no visible P waves (AHA 2016 Guidelines). Unstable patients needs immediate Synchronized Cardioversion. The machine synchronizes itself to your patients ventricular depolarization (QRS) but shock upon discharge on the relative refractory period during ventricular repolarization (downslope of the the T wave). This prevents an R-on-T Phenomenon (causes dysrhythmias). SVT, Atrial Flutter and PSVT responds better to Biphasics: 50-100 Joules for the first shock. If using Monoph
