Ventricular tachycardia treatment

Having polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, the particular QRS waves will not be symmetrical. The reason being because each ventricular impulse can be generated from a various location. For the rhythm strip, the QRS might be to some degree higher or wider.
A single generally seen type of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is torsades de pointes. Torsades and other polymorphic ventricular tachycardia are sophisticated rhythms that require additional skilled and expert discussion is encouraged.
If polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is secure the ACLS tachycardia protocol should be used to handle the patient. Unstable polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is dealt with unsynchronized shocks (defibrillation). Defibrillation is utilized due to the fact synchronization is not possible.

The ventricular tachycardia ecg will look something like :
