The people I have paced could handle the pacing with out sedation. Yes it is uncomfortable, but can be tolerated. In your situation, I would initiate pacing and sedate once bp was adequate. Treat the life threatening rhythm before comfort. That can be achieved after successful pacing.

any thoughts of using adenosine? It might slow down the rhythm so you can get a better look. A 12 lead would have given you the electrical axis and you could probably confirm vtach. This is probably not in your protocols, but could help you diagnois vtach. Tom

Does anybody know what the wave form in a chf patient looks like? Or know any web sites that have that info.

There was moderate passenger side damage and the driver compartment was intact. CAO times 4 no past medical hx 20 yo f. Pt neck and back non tender on palp -deformities noted.
