    SVT Treatment Options

    If unstable -> cardioversion; may attempt modified Valsalva while prepping for cardioversion

     

    Stable -> modified Valsalva while prepping meds: adenosine, CCB, or BB

     

    CCB has similar efficacy and fewer side effects compared to adenosine

     

    If using adenosine, go with 12 mg; tell patient about expected symptoms (and that means it’s working!)
