Defibrillator
Consider sedation medication in conscious patient (e.g. etomidate, ketamine), but do not delay procedure in unstable patient
Give fentanyl 1 μg/kg before sedation, and consider slow 0.5 mg/kg lidocaine IV 1 min before sedative
Etomidate superior to propofol in terms of recovery and hemodynamic stability
Etomidate 0.1 mg/kg, followed by etomidate second dose of 0.05 mg/kg just prior to shock
VS propofol 1 mg/kg, followed by propofol second dose of 0.5 mg/kg just prior to shock
Give fentanyl 1 μg/kg before sedation, and consider slow 0.5 mg/kg lidocaine IV 1 min before sedative
