NCT03299517

Brief Summary

Introduction: Recent studies have suggested that other medications may be superior to amiodarone in controlling ventricular arrhythmias. However, a prospective and randomized comparison with lidocaine has not yet been described. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the use of amiodarone versus lidocaine in patients with stable ventricular tachycardias. Methodology: For this, a unicentric, randomized and prospective study will be carried out, in which the two drugs will be administered in a comparative manner. Hospital data (test results, medical outcomes, arrhythmia reversal, complications) of patients will be analyzed for safety and effectiveness. Expected results: The use of lidocaine is not inferior to amiodarone in the tolerability and reversion of stable ventricular tachycardias.

Study Arms (2)

lidocaine

EXPERIMENTAL

Initial dose: antiarrythmic drugs Lidocaine (1.5 mg / kg EV in 30 minutes). Adittional dose: Lidocaine (0.75 mg / kg EV in 30 minutes).

Drug: Antiarrythmic Drugs

amiodarone

EXPERIMENTAL

Initial dose: antiarrythmic drugs Amiodarone (5 mg / kg EV in 30 minutes) Adittional dose: Amiodarone (3 mg / kg EV in 30 minutes)

Drug: Antiarrhythmic drugs

Interventions

Patient will be randomly randomized 1: 1 for the antiarrythmic drugs. If there is no reversal and there is no adverse event, a further dose of the same pre-administered medicinal product will be performed in another 30 minutes.
