Is lidocaine an alternative to amiodarone?
The guidelines recommend the administration of amiodarone for sustained ventricular fibrillation (Vf) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) refractory to CPR, defibrillation, and vasopressor in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Lidocaine is recommended as an alternative to amiodarone.
Lidocaine is now included with amiodarone in the ACLS algorithm for the treatment of shock-refractory VF/pVT. The recommended dose of lidocaine is 1.0 to 1.5 mg/kg IV/IO for the first dose and 0.5 to 0.75 mg/kg IV/IO for a second dose if required.
