Seeking information on experience/outcome giving Cardizem(Diltiazem) to
hypotensive patient. Some MD's say hold for SBP<90 others say give is even
if SPB<70, had MD request order to give Cardizem (Diltiazem) with BP 52/44
to correct SVT with HR160 (rationale was if he could slow HR the BP would
increase since heart was ineffectively perfusing). Med was not given due to
pt converting on own; however, has created quite a difference in opinions.
Any opinions or feedback appreciated.
