Our system uses Norcuron 0.01mg/kg as a preload dose to combat the effects of the Anectine (the de-fasciculating dose), followed by Etomidate 0.3mg/kg, followed by sux at 1.5mg/kg. Once the tube is in place and verified, the other 9cc's of Norcuron is given for long term down time. We also use the B.I.Z. to make sure they're not coming up out of it. This is generally for trauma. On the medical side (strokes and such) we have the option to do sedative airways. These are our adult protocols. For kids, it's the Versed, Lido, Atropine route in addtion to the paralytics.

Okay, I printed it and looked at it again. The first four beats march close, but not exact..not unheard of. I still say it's A-fib.

It's Atrial Fib with pvc's...probably high ventricular in origin.
