Abstract
Arrhythmias are a common problem in the critically ill and they can have significant effects on patient outcome. They often require immediate and swift action, and it is therefore essential that clinicians have a structured approach to the recognition and management of arrhythmias. Here, we provide a framework for the appropriate management of the more frequently encountered cardiac arrhythmias in critical care. We include the most recent algorithms from the 2021 Resuscitation Council Guidelines for reference.
