Atrial fibrillation (AFib)
in Health ·
I would appreciate some guidance on the administration of epinephrine, given its tendency to increase heart rate and the subsequent risk of inducing arrhythmias. Furthermore, one must be cautious regarding cardiac glycosides, as they enhance the activity of the sodium-potassium pump responsible for contractions. In terms of pharmacological options, administering 2% Lidocaine intravenously—or even intracardially during an emergency—seems most appropriate, as it acts directly upon that sodium-potassium pump.
