Management of Arrhythmias in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit
Crit Care Clin.

Abstract
Arrhythmias in the cardiovascular intensive care unit (CVICU) can be difficult to manage because of the complex hemodynamic and respiratory states of critically ill patients. Treating physicians must be educated to prevent, diagnose, and treat a multitude of tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias. In this review article, the authors outline a pragmatic approach to patient assessment, arrhythmia diagnosis, and management of the most common arrhythmias seen in the CVICU.
Keywords: Arrhythmia; Atrial fibrillation; Bradycardia; ICU; Ventricular tachycardia.
