Stellate ganglion block and ventricular arrhythmias

An electrical or ventricular storm is a life-threatening condition that must be treated as soon as possible. Here we have successfully saved a 32-year-old male patient with ventricular storm by going beyond the conventional treatment of ACLS. The ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block terminates sympathetic over discharge thus terminates electrical storm. The emergency physicians need to be aware of the right timing, indication & ultrasound-guided nerve block technique as it is time a sensitive & final rescue technique to save the patient. Lack of expertise can lead to treatment failure or delay which can lead to poor resuscitation outcomes.

Abstract

An electrical or ventricular storm is a life-threatening condition that must be treated as soon as possible. Here we have successfully saved a 32-year-old male patient with ventricular storm by going beyond the conventional treatment of ACLS. The ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block terminates sympathetic over discharge thus terminates electrical storm. The emergency physicians need to be aware of the right timing, indication & ultrasound-guided nerve block technique as it is time a sensitive & final rescue technique to save the patient. Lack of expertise can lead to treatment failure or delay which can lead to poor resuscitation outcomes.
