Cardioversion for Acute Atrial Fibrillation
New algorithm in the new CCS 2020 guidelines on management of acute atrial fibrillation, let's say you're in an emergency department setting. Can you outline for the listeners what the high yield points from this algorithm are? Thanks,. In the new in the C CS 2020 guidelines, especially on the section on cardioversion, it is still the thing to do when someone has hemodynamic and stable atrialFibers or flutter. If they have a low child score being zero to one, you can cardiovert them without ruling out left atrial clots, but then afterwards, they should be anticoagulated.
