Amiodarone is a drug that can prolong AV conduction, the AV refractory period, and QRS and Q-T 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.
