Although magnesium can be used in the treatment of other medical conditions such as eclampsia, asthma, & digitalis toxicity; for ACLS, magnesium is primarily used to treat Torsades de Pointes.

Administration of a magnesium infusion for stable patients vs slow IV push for patients in cardiac arrest.

Procainamide use for stable patients with a monomorphic wide-complex tachycardia.

Procainamide dosing and when to stop the infusion.

Good luck with your ACLS class!
