Recognition and treatment of unstable patients in A-Fib/Flutter with rapid ventricular response (RVR).

Suggested energy settings for synchronized cardioversion of unstable patients with a narrow complex tachycardia.

Team safety when cardioverting an unstable patient in A-FIB/Flutter.

Adenosine’s role for stable SVT patients with underlying atrial rhythms.

Treatment of stable patients in A-Fib/Flutter with RVR.
