Management options for the hypotensive, conscious patient, which may be attempted to avoid immediate cardioversion. We recommend selecting only 1 of the 3 options; if not effective (pulse rate decreased and blood pressure increased or maintained), obtain expert consultation. If vital signs or level of consciousness worsens, proceed to immediate cardioversion.
