One elderly patient with extremely severe burn was admitted to our department on 4th August, 2017. The patient suffered multiple sustained ventricular tachycardia from post injury day 2 to 4 due to relatively high input volume during shock stage. Amiodarone could not be given through intravenous injection because of his low blood pressure. After consultation with cardiologist, ventricular tachycardia was corrected by electrical cardioversion of several times. According to this case, the first treatment is electrical cardioversion when elderly patient with extremely severe burn shows sustained ventricular tachycardia which can not be corrected with medicine.2017年8月4日,笔者单位收治特重度烧伤老年患者1例,伤后2~4 d,因休克期补液量偏多,患者出现多次持续性室性心动过速。因血压过低无法静脉推注胺碘酮,经心内科医师会诊,给予多次电复律后室性心动过速得以纠正。提示当特重度烧伤老年患者出现无法用药物纠正的持续性室性心动过速时,首选治疗方案为电复律。.
