We are usually way to busy running calls to worry about PR. As for days off, they are often spent working overtime or side jobs. However, in our county, there is an abundance of fireman with nothing better to do than work the PR angle. It must be nice.

I had great success with Amiodarone converting a stable v-tach. Our pt was decompensating but still much too alert for non-sedated cardioversion. We set her up on a rapid drip (150mg in 50cc n/s infused over 10 minutes) and she converted about halfway through the treatment into sinus tach.... not too shabby. This was a few shifts ago and it was the first time I had ever used Amiodarone on a non-cardiac arrest pt. Patrick
