Treatment of Out‐of‐hospital Supraventricular Tachycardia: Adenosine vs Verapamil

Abstract

Adenosine and verapamil were equally successful in converting out-of-hospital SVT in patients with similar etiologies responsible for the SVT. Recurrence of SVT occurred at similar rates for the 2 medications. Rhythm misidentification remains a common issue in out-of-hospital cardiac care in this emergency medical services system.
