Question 10

You are working in the lab doing a ventricular tachycardia study. During ventricular stimulation with a cycle length of 500ms with S2 of 210ms and an S3 of 260ms a rapid, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is induced. The VERY FIRST thing the person manning the defib units should do is what?

Sorry.... No multiple choice on this one. You should know this.
