I agree with all except that I am not sure whether u can give epinephrine to someone with VT. I think that will increase chances of converting it to VF.

Let me know,

Thanks,

you give epinephrine or other vasopressors(vasopressin) in pulseless vt(as I mention above) and for wide complex vt, we don't use epinephrine.
Hope I'm clear. :?
