Are there any IV meds that you can give to help decrease the HR but it wont decrease the BP? I had a patient last night that his uncontrolled A-fin was in the
150's but his pressure was only 70 and 80 systolic and that was on Dopamine, I forget how many mics but it was 39 ml/hour of the premix. The pt was comfort care only so the Dr wasnt being very proactive, I was just wondering what else we could have done. It seems like his poor hurt would have been plugging away way too hard at that rate.

Sorry I was meaning in general terms, not specific to this patient.
