Questioning your treatment of tachycardia.
These six questions may make it easier to guide your steps as critical minutes pass while treating your tachycardic patient.

Adequate oxygenation, establishing IV lines and diagnosing specific rhythms are the first steps toward successful treatment of your next patient.
