Lidocaine for Wide-complex tachycardia
Adult weight-based dosing has a median of 1 mg/kg across 67 published protocols, with the middle half between 1 and 1.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.
Adult, weight-basedmg/kg
| min | p25 | median | p75 | max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1.5 |
Values in mg/kg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
