#2: Prehospital Adenosine for SVT – 6 or 12 mg?

An initial dose of 12 mg of adenosine for suspected paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) was associated with increased prehospital improvement, reduced rates of hospital admission, and less re-dosing compared to 6 mg, while complications remained rare and similar across both groups.
