(FIT)-Module 4 Workshop 6: Electrocardiographic and Electrophysiological Correlations-Poole Case 5 Answer

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the management of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in pregnant patients, emphasizing safety considerations for the fetus. According to guidelines, vagal maneuvers are first-line therapy for acute SVT. If ineffective, IV adenosine is recommended for hemodynamically stable patients, while cardioversion is advised for unstable cases. For ongoing treatment, digoxin, sotalol, flecainide, and metoprolol are commonly used, whereas atenolol and amiodarone are contraindicated. The video references 2015 and 2023 guidelines for managing SVT and arrhythmias during pregnancy.
