Regular narrow-complex tachycardia

Educational use only. Not clinically reviewed

42-year-old woman for Rhythm stability and bounded acute-response review. About 8 simulated minutes.

What you will practise

  • Reconcile the fixed regular narrow-complex rhythm with current whole-patient stability without using rate alone.
  • Review abrupt onset, fixed ECG description, prior episodes, medications, contributors, and alternate regular narrow mechanisms without premature closure.
  • Record coached vagal-maneuver intent and reassess the authored nonconversion.
  • Record protocol-bounded adenosine intent after contraindication, access, monitoring, and resuscitation-readiness review.
  • After elapsed time, reassess the fixed rhythm and whole patient, then record recurrence safety-net and rhythm follow-up ownership.
