Transcript
Hello and welcome to Episode 87 of ER-Rx- a podcast tailored to your clinical needs. I’m your host, Adis Keric, and in this Pharmacy Consult episode I’ll discuss whether or not we should be giving IV magnesium (Mg) to every patient in atrial fibrillation (AF) in your emergency department.
Stable, rapid AF is usually defined as a HR > 110 without signs of hemodynamic instability. In the ER setting, these patients are typically treated with beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers
