"Ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm refers to recurrent episodes of VT.

Aggressive management is required including intubation, deep sedation, antiarrhythmics, and sympatholysis. Given the rarity of this condition, it's difficult to obtain high-level evidence or extensive experience. This chapter attempts to create an organized pathway, incorporating some emerging evidence regarding ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion blocks.
