Amiodarone is primarily chosen for ACLS as the firstline antiarrhythmic agent for cardiac arrest because it has reliably and clinically shown effectiveness in improving the rate of return of spontaneous circulation otherwise known as ROSC. Amiodarone is a drug that can prolong AV conduction, the AV refractory period, and QRS and QT intervals, which ultimately slows the heart rate. When using Amiodarone to treat Vfib or pulseless VTach cardiac arrest, the first dose is 300 mg IV/IO push. The second dose is delivered at 150mg IV/IO push.
