Would I be stupid for thinking about pushing Mag here too in the undifferentiated patient?

Absolutely not stupid, but I don't think it would be one of my first go-tos. There's pretty decent evidence that mag can help with refractory Vtach/Fib, but I don't think, personally, that I'd reach for it right away. This article seemed to hit some pretty good points on Mag with cardiac dysrhythmias: https://www.ajconline.org/article/0002-9149(90)91280-J/abstract#:~:text=Magnesium%20treatment%20is%20a%20viable,atrial%20fibrillation%20and%20supraventricular%20tachycardia.
