Feb 11, 2016 #1 S Srt4ever Forum Crew Member 59 3 8 What's the ACLS guideline for a person who was in cardiac arrest but then comes back into VT with a pulse ? Would you obtain vitals signs to compare if it's stable vs unstable ? An if the pt is stable would you do an Ami drip ? Vs unstable cardio vert ?

Feb 11, 2016 #2 Summit Critical Crazy 2,694 1,314 113 Pulsatile VT is not a "stable" ROSC rhythm unless that was their stable prearrest rythmn (eg a slow VT for hours). So synchronized cardioversion (although in the real world it is highly likely the pulse would be so weak that it would be defibrillated).
