As a medical professional with expertise in emergency medicine, I can provide you with an informed response to your question regarding the treatment of pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT).
In the case of
pulseless VT, immediate defibrillation is the recommended treatment. Unlike other forms of unstable VT, which may be treated with synchronized cardioversion, pulseless VT requires unsynchronized shocks. The initial
shock for a biphasic defibrillator should be delivered at a dose of 150-200 Joules (J). If the first shock does not restore a perfusing rhythm, subsequent
shocks should be given at the same or higher energy level.
