Abstract: (228 Views)
Atrial flutter is a cardiac arrhythmia which requires quick and timely treatment. Here, we discuss a case with atrial flutter and massive pleural effusion admitted to emergency room. Anti-arrhythmic drug therapy was not effective in this patient, but arrhythmia was converted to sinus rhythm after pleural fluid synthesis. In this paper, we reported the case and explained the diagnosis and treatment of atrial flutter with nursing approach.
