Abstract

Elective electrical cardioversions are commonly scheduled to be performed in the PACU because of the availability of nursing and anesthesia support. This report examines preanesthetic patient preparation as well as a review of the procedural aspects of electrical cardioversion. The commonly used anesthetic agents are contrasted with regard to their pharmacodynamic considerations. The indications, contraindications, and complications associated with the procedure are reviewed.
