Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of the study is to reduce hospital admission and decrease time to disposition through establishing an effective treatment protocol for AF and Atrial Flutter in the Emergency Department of Spectrum Health Lakeland. Secondary outcome is to measure if oral diltiazem is an effective HR controlling agent in AF RVR and Flutter.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

A treatment protocol using oral and IV diltiazem has been implemented. We will compare admission rates, time to heart rate control, and hypotension between the protocol group and patients receiving traditional treatments for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Diltiazem with oral and intravenous treatment

Diltiazem 0.25mg/kg injection, give over 2 minutes, max dose 30mg. 15 minutes following Diltiazem Infusion administer oral Diltiazem 60mg IR Tablet, do not give if BP\<100

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Oral

Intervention Type DRUG

Diltiazem 0.25mg/kg injection, give over 2 minutes, max dose 30mg

traditional atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response

these patients will receive traditional treatments at provider discretion. To be included in teh study their initial heart rate must also be over 125, and they must receive at least one intravenous medication for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. This will be a heterogenous group of patients receiving digoxin, amiodarone, various beta-blockers, and intravenous diltiazem without oral diltiazem.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Intravenous drug

Intervention Type DRUG

these patients will receive traditional treatments at provider discretion. They must receive at least one intravenous medication for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. This will be a heterogenous group of patients receiving digoxin, amiodarone, various beta-blockers, and intravenous diltiazem without oral diltiazem.
